It's the 'cradle of civilization,' and civilization breeds violence on a grand scale.
Seriously, the Middle East is where agriculture first started, and it's been inhabbitted, farmed, and civilized millenia longer than any other region of the globe.
When you think about it, what the middle east is today is likely what the whole world will be in the distant future - a blasted wasteland fought over by religious fanatics.

actaully it was very peaceful from 1450's to the end of WWI when the British and French carved up the old Ottoman Empire and turned all these different groups against each other
before that time Christians, Jews and Moslums all lived together in relative peace
