πŸ˜‚Or, one could look at the Iran-Iraq war and compare/contrast with the gulf war and come to the realization that Arabs suck at war.
Like, really, REALLY suck.
It's a cultural thing. πŸ˜‰
You are absolutely right about Arabs, but when they attacked the new state of Israel was barely organized and it is a hard thing to beat overwhelming force even with excellent military leadership. Witness the battle of the Little Bighorn where well led, well armed troops were over run by stone age savages. Arabs are not much against the Western or Big Asian powers but the infant state of Israel was almost in a helpless condition in 1948 except for the Hebrews knowing surrender was death, and then I admit there was the Arab penchant for retreat.


Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
