      They call it the “Lawrence of Arabia Syndrome” after British soldier Thomas Edward Lawrence.  “It happens when soldiers representing dominant powers identify with those they have come to liberate or dominate or liberate AND dominate.  Sometimes it happens slowly.  Sometimes rather dramatically.  In a similar reverse form of the syndrome, the Helsinki Syndrome, a prisoner will become a model trustee of the prison that incarcerates him or a kidnap victim will fall in love with their abductors,” said Dr. Robert S. Lugwulzmantz of the London Center for Lawrence Syndrome Research.

     Lugwulzmantz became interested in the Lawrence Syndrome when as a boy his father, the leading Orthodox rabbi of the Temple Beth Judah in Leeds, led the charge against a middle aged associate rabbi of the synagogue.  “The associate, a few years older than my father.... we called him ‘mutton chops’ because of his long sideburns... had hit middle age and a member of the congregation, a married woman, threw herself at him and he succumbed in one of the synagogue closets between the cases of Mogen David and boxes of Matzos.  It was quite a scandal and my Dad intervened and basically dragged Rabbi Obamowisz before the congregation for a formal thrashing.  The poor man jumped off the Ramsay Hat Factory building and impaled himself on a wrought iron fence.  A year later Dad, who had grown long sideburns since Obamowisz’s death, had an affair with the same woman and Mom divorced him,” said Lugwulzmantz.

     According to Lugwulzmantz, President Lyndon Baines Johnson, developed the syndrome after leaving office.  "He grew his hair long and began listening to  Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young's Four Dead in Ohio and developed a strong attraction to Patoulie oil and incense," said Lugwulzmantz.
     Lugwulzmantz maintains that Lawrence syndrome is often free floating, involuntary and irresistible to its victim and often comes as a great surprise to those who know them.  So far none of General McRaven’s close associates have shown similar indicators, but it is rumored that a couple of members of the Seal Team 6 have started riding camels around their back yards, while smoking Camel cigarettes” said Lugwulzmantz.
