I don't regard it as intractable. It definitely frustrates me that we aren't a force for good there, but given the enormous distrust of our intentions we ourselves have sown (for the most part), I'm skeptical that they'll take the horse without finding bad teeth -- even ones that aren't there.
Having been a refugee from Middle Eastern unrest myself, I'm sure sympathetic to their plight, and your view. I just don't think any sacrifice on our part will improve anything there.
