Isaiah 2:4 >>
New International Version (©1984)
He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.

The main problem in the Middle East is religion.
As people become less and less religious all over the world, pressure against religious extremism is building up. Lots of things that are (still) acceptable today, like all kinds of barbaric laws based on religion, won't be acceptable in the (not so distant) future.
Globalization is also going to play a role. We can no longer accept barbaric behavior for the sake of "respecting" a culture or a religion.
I cannot envision, but I do hope and pray for, the day where a Mosque, a Hindu Temple, Synagogue and Buddhist Shrine can all be on the same block in Tehran and no one notices. That will be when peace comes to the middle-east. When Islamist recant their belief that murdering others in the name of God is somehow holy and that only Islam is a path back to God…..then peace will come. As long as tens of thousands of people are willing to stand and shout support for the total destruction of another nation or peoples, war will continue to rule.
When Islam has its equivalent of Martin Luther and the other great men of the Christian Reformation, then a path forward to peace can be seen. Until then, Loose The Dogs Of War and Cry Havoc, will be the cry heard in the region.
