Actually they can defeat ZAFT force they just aren't sure yet that they want to enter war them since they are not sure who try to kill Lacus yet.
(That why they say in enemy to answer Athrun for why they didn't fight back.)
Edit: Don't forget that they have Kira who could easily farm grunts/battleships >>> he just need to stop running away/wasting time and just fight Shin > and ZAFT army will be destroyed the second Impulse is down.
(But then they will be officially at war with them and that why it's easier "for long run" to just run away for for now without attacking them.)
