Everyone knows pulling out is not a good idea. Europe pulled out.
Seriously though, many of these nations have dozens of tribes all vying for power. There is not widespread acceptance of any particular ruler or political system. That's because people identify more with their tribe than the nation they happen to reside in.
Many regions of the world have had similar conflicts until power was sufficiently consolidated either through elimination of competing tribes, sufficient cultural homogeneity, or a conquering foreign culture - parts of the Americas being good examples.
The west wasn't born overnight. It took millenia for the concept of a nation-state to take hold. It takes quite a bit of power and sufficient social capital to hold a nation-state together.
The death-rate due to warfare is higher among tribes than nation-states - even including the world wars. Don't have a reference page handy on that but it's in Howard Bloom's book "The Lucifer Principle".
