So, let's say the United States adopts a isolationist attitude in regards to the Middle East, as a result of Vietnam War syndrome, and doesn't form a coalition to liberate Kuwait from Iraq. Without American leadership, no Western country seriously considers kicking Iraq out of Kuwait with military force.

A coalition of Middle Eastern nations begins to take shape. (Syria, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Jordan, Lebanon). Can this coalition defeat Iraq by itself without outside military intervention?

Before anyone tells me, I know this idea is ASB, but I was just curious.
