The Middle East has some of the worst poverty on the planet. Regardless of how you think it could be best helped, I thnk that we can all agree that if you remove people from misery they stop complaining quite so much. Historically, violent dissent tends to go down when the standard of living goes up. Also, I think that abandoning our military bases in the Middle East would probably help calm the situation down, but that is unlikely to happen because of the oil supply.
