There was so much differece in the tribes of Arabia and the Aboriginal tribes of Australia. In Arabia, although the tribes did not get along with each other they shared a common language and they had a far more advanced society than the Aboriginals of Australia who were more like the native Indian tribes of America but even less advanced. Actually there is a great similarity between the taking over of land and resources in Australia and those in America. No one championed those civilizations like Lawrence did in Arabia, but one must also take into consideration that Lawrence had superior officers that had to go along with his ideas for the Arabs to get what they did and that the British had been in that area of the world for a long time already when Lawrence came upon the scene ( check out Gordon of Khartoum ). Right now the Aboriginals in Australia don't even have any casinos. Firstly Dolpin, one must read Lawrence’s book, The Seven Pillars of Wisdom, to even hope to understand the man.
