Why Arabs Lose Wars ...
Because on a real battlefield, facing REAL armies, they can't set off car bombs that kill children.
When faced with someone who will WILLINGLY pull the trigger at them, they find it hard to get into rock-throwing range...
Because CNN and Europress are seldom allowed at the front lines of a battle with sympathetic camera crews...
Because when you smell like a dung-heap, it's hard to hide from a clean enemy...
Because they studied battle tactics and surrender 101 at the feet of the French...

One has to wonder why we even bother. If the Israelis decided enough was enough, they could probably solve the "Arab Problem" in short order. The usual uproar from the Europeans would be expected, but they'd probably not do a thing about it.

Arab junior officers are well trained on the technical aspects of their weapons and tactical know-how, but not in leadership, a subject given little attention. No leadership training. There's a recipe for failure.

Arabs lose wars because they are evil. The Judeo Christian God will only let evil prevail for so long. When He has had enough, they lose.

They'd fear the Federation and The Enterprise, which after a battle would hover over the surface of Uranus, blotting out remaining Klingons.
