They've been at each other's throats for many reasons. Religion, land, politics... But the main reason it has continued unabated for so long is simple. The societies haven't changed much in all of that time. They've been ruled by fanatical dictators, and anyone proposing progress is silenced before they can make a dent. They've been conditioned, as a society, to act a certain way, and to believe a certain way. The only way to change that is to get a new form of ruling body in place and give the people time to realize what freedom and democracy are. And that's going to take a while. The Constitution of the United States didn't bring instant peace to our country, and we weren't even at war at the time. Granted, the far leftists are constantly attacking and altering our constitution, so we know they don't care much about it anyway...
