I understand the Shia& Sunnis have been doing the muslim variation
of the "Hatfield-McCoy feud for near a thousand years now, and their
culture seems to have survived to this point...
No thanks to the west.
It's just so much bullshit neocolonial paternalism to say that it would all fall apart NOW without US/British/quasi-multinational presence. To say we have to stick around to clean up the mess is a self created, self fulfilling reality (American are quite good at that), disinigenous or an outright lie that's only relative to the shortest of historical timeframes. Pick one.
Quite simply, we made the mess, but more succinctly, we *are* the mess,
