  Sounds good on paper but, would a major conflict draw fighters, arms and financial support away from Iraq and Afghanistan? Would a conflict draw attention away from Iran, Pakistan and the Kurds? Would a conflict allow the Russian Federation to gain more influence in the area? Would a conflict provide jobs and incomes (profits) for European arms manufacturers? Would a conflict provide reasons for repressive regimes in the area to increase their authoritarian powers? Would a conflict add fuel to the arguments and recruiting of extremist religious groups? Answer yes to any and you have reasons for the 'great' powers not to want to interfere with the situation.
