The problems of the middle east are ideas. It is a war of thoughts. Like the was on communism and drugs. You can't fight that unless you give them better thoughts. And war will give them no thoughts but more hate. The west invaded their region during the age of exploration and reignited a lot of tribal hates that had started to die down. But the west set them against each other. One tribe favored over this tribe cause they sided with the west etc... And will still act like it belongs to us. We used them during the cold War to fight the communists and then turned on them. We were the first terrorists. They have not forgotten the British Empire and now their offspring the US. Why do you think they still use terms like colonialism? They are still fighting a war we forgot even happened.
