| Grimmy summed it up pretty good IMO.
Israel is the only military force in the mideast that is to me reckoned with in open warfare.
The others are possibly on par with the Iraqi insurgency.
Saudi Arabia and Jordan and a few other nations depend too heavily on western equipment.
Although good enough in THAT AOR the western nations never sells their top notch gear to these nations.
It might be simplistic but an expeditionary force from the western world would make a clean sweep in the region in conventional warfare.
