The divided middle east

The Arab countries are divided between two players - Iran and Saudi Arabia. If a Sunny govt is in power then it has the support of Saudi Arabia. If a Shia govt is in power then it has Iranian support. The Western countries are just observers and get played with a lot. To bring peace to this region, two things must happen. Every country gets to vote for a democratic govt and Kurdish people must get their own country. A lot of Arab countries have minority govts in power with outside support.
