Bringing out the hand puppets...
You're question was "Is the Middle East stable?"
I stated that other than the actual war zones, the other nations in the region (with the exceptions I noted) are really no less stable than they have been for decades, and a few are more so. The non-national terror groups are acting up, of course, but they would have been even if we'd never gone into Iraq.
Or maybe you subscribe to the fantasy notion that if we only had 150,000 U.S. troops kicking fundamentalist asses in Afghanistan, that the radical Islamists and the rest of the anti-Americans in the region would now all be sleeping peacefully on their porch chairs.
