I think Wayne hit the nail on it's head. Only reason middle-east countries aren't what they were 50 years ago (a bunch of tribes, really) is the whealth they enjoy by selling oil. Take away that source of income and they will soon fade away.
Problem is, people are short-sighted and usually don't understand this quasi-complicated way things are connected. Many of them just want cheep gas to fill up their SUV's and will vote for whoever obtains that for them, in short turn.
What we need is another source of energy.
ITER fusion reactor needs around 60 billion dollars of funding alltoghether... compare that to costs of intervention in Iraq. Compare the results.
