inherently more difficult to sustain. An

end to the “forever wars” in the Middle

East will be delivered neither by the stroke

of a pen on a pact among warring

leaders nor through the United States’

military might. It will come rather

through the power of engaged citizens

demanding reform, buttressed by diplo-

matic engagement, technical assistance,

and economic investment aimed at

building coherent, responsive, and

accountable governments in the region.

What the Middle East needs today is

not a Peace of Westphalia but its own

version of the Helsinki Accords—a

process that marries domestic political,

social, and economic reforms with a

regional security dialogue. Without such

an effort and without the political will

for peace among any of the major players,

the long wars of the Middle East are

likely to continue.∂
