All the Arab armies have no heart. They won't fight hard.

Never underestimate the potential of a motivated opponent.

The Arabs have some very brave troops, but often poor and corrupt leadership commanding them to fight battles they cannot win.

But the Russians were the same way.. They aren't sufficiently motivated to fight unless they are fighting for the "motherland"...

And to an extent, I have to believe that Americans are kind of the same way. It would take a very provocative action on the part of the Saudis for Bush to be able to justify sending US troops to conquer the Arabian peninsula.
