Once somebody is in power, they'll want us to buy their oil and sell them playstations and mostly everybody over there will want to deal with the stuff over there. Besides, most places tend to gravitate towards peace if warring parties are not constantly supported by outside forces.

It looks to me from watching the vides that the movement has become war for it's own sake. It feeds them and to rely on them settling down, sitting on their front porch, behind their expensive TVs with a MB in their driveway reminiscing about the good old days of butchering their enemies, is a lot to ask.
