Sand War: Algeria vs. Morocco

I followed the advice Mr. Tangen gave me about researching a little more on the Algerian-Morocco War; best known as the Sand War, if I'm not wrong. It says, "The Sand War occurred along the Algerian-Moroccan border in October 1963, and was a Moroccan attempt to claim the Tindouf and the Bechar areas that France annexed to French Algeria a few decades earlier", (Google, n.pag).
I learned that before the French colonized Africa, parts of Algeria belonged to Morocco. War began after their independence, when both the Algerian army -conformed by the country's guerrilla called FNL- and Moroccan army confronted in the areas of Tindouf and Figuig. Algeria was in great disadvantage because of its primitive equipment, while Morocco disposed of advanced armery. The funny part comes here, when with this advantage, the Moroccan army couldn't get into Algeria, and three weeks after a series of failed attempts, the Organization of African Unity with the help of the Arab League took over and gave an end to it. On February 20, 1964 the two countries signed a peace treaty.
Still, this war left uncurable wounds; Algeria and Morocco had a lot of differences (eg. Algeria's Arab and revolutionary government and the Moroccan conservative monarchy). There was no agreement over the territories of Tindouf until the years of 1972, and it made a harsh impact over these to governments; some of its leaders were sentenced to death as a result.

After reading the history behind this two countries I find it kind of boring because of the failure of it, neither one of the countries got what they wanted. It's funny it lasted three weeks and that Algeria with such a lame army survived over this. I realized it's one of those wars where no side wins (we always wait for a winner, suspense...) and how can Morocco, a much more advanced country couldn't penetrate Algeria. We, as we learn history, always develop admiring thoughts towards countries who've fought for justice and won it...how can this war be an example of this?
