If the people in the neighborhood who fan the flames, launch the
rockets, call in the airstrikes, etc, only did it for their own
profit, the problem would be more tractable.  Unfortunately a high
proportion believe that they are acting on divine orders, or are
taking defensive action to protect their tribe against that other
tribe.  Such people are of course harder to defeat.
