The problems in the Middle East region need to be solved, and only then this will be possible. Almost everything - from the current state in the various dictatorships over Kurdistan to the Israel/Palestine conflict (and even much stuff in the Asian continent, like the Pakistan/India conflict!) can be traced to the disastrous end of the British colonial era.

The longer I live the more I realize that nothing is ever "solved."

while that might be true, some things do get to a steady state that feels like a solution.

For example, most europeans do not worry much about the next war between france/germany/italy/spain/austria.

The "war is a constant between large powers in europe" issue appears to be solved enough, for now.
