Reusing the stream cipher key

Explain why it is not desirable to reuse the stream cipher key?

If two plaintexts are encrypted along with the same key using the stream cipher then cryptanalysis is often quite simple. If two cipher text streams are XORed together with the result is regarded as the XOR of the original plaintexts. Thus, it is not desirable to reuse the stream cipher key.
