Wise lessons from the middle east

 In The Hague a majority is in favour of bombing and in Geneva the discussion of the future of Syria has been resumed. What could be a plausible future scenario for the Middle East? The vast numbers of refugees and the attacks, like in Paris and Beirut, increasingly put pressure on the question as to how things could have developed this way. VPRO Backlight dived deep into the archives, to use events from the recent past to look ahead. What lessons can be learnt, so that we can have a better understanding of what the future of this region will look like?
