Maybe the extremist know this and are playing to it. The easy route for them to get rid of the Americans is to do nothing and be quiet. Then the Americans have to leave or stay for the oil. With the Americans gone the extremists come back to fight, Iran invades and the extremist are finished.

But while the Muslims divide and kill themselves on on who knows God best and stupid points of religion, much like Europeans 500 years ago. A United Arab States isn't even a dream. Its' a fantasy.
The UN nor the US would stand by and allow Iran to invade. Even if we pulled out as if we felt the job was finished, we would go back in Iran tried to invade.

The other issue as I mentioned above is eventually the need for oil will play it's self out. It might be 20 years it might be 50 years or even 100, however it's a sure thing that the oil will run out and the middle east will eventually become a un-needed burden for the west.

Once that happens, if these countries have still not joined the civilized world, they will end up being push to the side the same way Africa or south America has. The only reason the middle east has any sort of world status is because of the oil. Once that's gone, they will be like a used up whore and get kicked to the curb.
