This region has been a hot spot for thousands and thousands of years. Despite the fact that many armies managed to successfully invade, no one managed to stay for too long. Personally, I think this was clear to the real decision makers that decided to send soldiers there. They had short term goals and they were probably achieved, whatever they were. I think that whoever believed that a large military presence might actually introduce a new order to the region seriously suffers from delusions of grandeur.
