"the arab wins his wars even before they end and sometimes even before they begin. the arab separates dichotomously between victory and practical victory in the campaign. he does not need a practical victory in the campaign to declare his victory. all that is needed is just a war, even one that returned its citizens to the stone age.. and that's it  the arab eases himself in the criteria for victory as the campaign continues. at the beginning of the campaign the criterion is "defeat of the enemy", then it eases itself and the criterion becomes "war against the enemy", then the criterion for victory is reduced to "standing firm against the blows of the enemy" and in the end victory becomes a synonym for defeat and destruction, but with a lot of pride."
