The recent history of the middle east is full of wars, battles, fights, assassination, plots, terrorism, murders, duplicity, stupidity, greed, stubbornness... the list goes on.
I don't think the middle east stands a chance at a sustainable peace. There is no configuration of power, resources and culture that doesn't starve a large enough population that they won't resort to violence.
During WW2, you could blame Britain and France. They were certainly responsible for much of the chaos. Their alternative was to let the middle east fall to Germany and Russia. Also unthinkable.
