Detailed analysis of every past war is essential for the "warriors" or insurgents of the present and future. However it is too much to expect from arab insurgents. Look they didn't learn a darned thing fighting Israel for the last 60 years.

That may be the case ... I don't want to argue with that. However your emphasis on war as nation building solution is out of sync with current modern day scenarios.

Imam Zaid Shakir has said that why do Muslims concentrate on fighting fire with fire? The strength of the West is their military machine, but ours is our faith.

The media engine stems from - 'the pen is mightier than sword' so it should not be ignored as a significant potent strength in the battle of good versus evil. War is not as great as you want it to be. Yes in early Islam there were battles which were won and were lost, but the real power of Islam came from it's identity, dawah and within a few years of peace there became more Muslims in number than the previous decade of fighting and evading.
