One of my all-time favorite books is T.E. Lawrence's, "Seven Pillars of Wisdom"...this must be my sixth reading at least. I picked up on something I hadn't reason to notice before...one of the men in Feisal's camp is named "Arslan"...he is said to be from Syria. Can it have been a relative of our own Matay Arslan?

Lawrence says there were many Syrians and Mesopotamians fighting with Feisal...all of them fed up with the Ottoman Turks. He uses the word "Assyria" but refers to the people of that region as Mesopotamians...about the safest thing to call us...in other words the people of BetNahrain...I like that sound even better than "Assyria".
