Unfortunately, the reason that the arab nations can be delusional is that while they've had crushing military defeats, they haven't lost their ability to wage war, and worse, they haven't been totally defeated.

The only time "true" peace is possible, is when those two steps are taken. The last time it happened was in 1945.

Simply put, Israel is too small to be able to completely crush it's neighbors, although they were stopped from pushing on to Damascus and Cairo in 1973, by pressure from the US, due to the USSR demanding that Israel stop, otherwise they would step in to protect their puppets.

Apparently everyone else in the world is aware of this, except the Syrians and the Egyptians.

That's what makes seeing them "celebrate" their victory every year embarrassingly pathetic.
The arabs were not only defeated, they were humiliated.

I just wonder if the Syrians and the Egyptians ever wonder where the spoils of their victory is?
