Which states in the area have would have the ability to fund a large military?
and AGAIN, I'm not suggesting that it be the US that supervises necessarily. DO YOU READ ME THIS TIME?

Oh I see. Sorry for being so dim. The current policies are in place so we can avoid a Middle Eastern superpower emerging in the year 2500. Fair enough.
If my numbers are off, do please give me a history lesson. How long exactly did it take for the Europeans to settle their religious differences? And did they have to do it after Europe was wiped out by a nuclear confrontation? The Pan-Arab superstate you are afraid of will have to start there, so it'll take a while.
