Are there significantly less drugs coming out this region, as well as others? Are there significantly less numbers of people less horrified by the the acts of the other to become less easily radicalized; one way or the other? And therefore more easily manipulated by outside interests? Because, certainly, one person's burden is another person's potential gain; if for no other reason than it serves to weaken one side just a little bit more; not to mention the money to be gained from the drugs, or the weapons, or for what might potentially be found under the ground there.
Changing governments, or social/economic operating systems isn't going to change the hatreds, and suspicions, that have built up in these various troubled regions any time soon; any more than such change can alter the various histories of all who came wading through, in times past, with their own visions of control, and what might be controlled.
One thing it might do, though, if it were the right kind of change, is provide a completely new dynamic as to what one might seek to not only start out with, as to what one wanted to achieve, but also as to what one was willing to not make demand of in return. This most especially so when cooperation may well become the linchpin for whether we will be able to save the planet, or not.
Just more to think about now that survival for all of us is on the line now.
