In my mind, the entire Middle East conflict boils down to:

 It's very hot and there's no water.

Everyone goes on and one about invading Iraq for oil, you know who's the largest supplier of foreign oil to the USA?

Saudi Arabia? Nope.

Canada (by a large margin).

Sadly, we're not going to change much of anything in Iraq or Afghanistan. I wish we would but sadly the public won't tolerate the decades long occupation that would be necessary for true democracy to be established.   It was truly silly to believe that we could invade and leave a stable democracy behind 10 years later.

There is no quick solution to these problems, aside from turning the Middle East into radioactive glass.
