When was the last time the middle east has known peace (not fighting eachother or others)? |
To be fair, the European continent has been in a state of constant war for several hundred years up until World War II where Europe was basically almost nearly destroyed full stop, the death toll makes any current conflict in the world look tame with tens of millions of people dead, and even after WW2 you have another 50 years of the Cold War.
Peace in Europe is a relatively recent concept.
America has basically been at war with someone pretty much non-stop for the last 100 years too, lol. I guess the 90s were relatively peaceful.
That said yes, the current Middle East is a mess and that is not solely the West's fault. There needs to a populist movement towards liberal democracy, unfortunately that is very hard to do because of religious conservatism.
