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.

Well you see, the religious differences in Europe are still not settled, and yet superpowers have come and gone. So that leads me to believe that religious differences need not be settled in order for one party to kick the other's ass.
Current policies are in place to maintain global stability by insuring instability in certain areas. The Middle East is just one of these areas.
