A shake up of the system might not be so bad in the long run. It's worth noting how Algeria is still stable despite some unrest during the "Arab spring", war in neighbouring Libya, and the civil war in the 90s. I don't think Algeria has reached its final state, but they might be more wary of creating a new civil war and be more inclined to find more peaceful ways to settle differences.
Circular? I am trying to find what your argument is, it seems overly optimistic or shows a lack of understanding of the current situation surrounding these countries that spawned this problem. Having your way at the risk of state disintegration doesn't sound very good to me and, all due respect, I don't care what you think is right if it completely discards the survival of the current strategic center of the Arab world. Preventing more conflicts and refugee crises rests on the stability of the remaining wealthy or recovering states.

Which Arab country exactly could possibly afford a "shakeup of the system?" What happens when you shake up a sheikhdom? Algeria is a different case entirely. It has a radically distinguished political system compared to countries in the Arabian peninsula. These countries you want to throw the refugees at cannot afford to have the refugees, they won't be able to handle the economic consequences especially now that Iran is working towards controlling the regional oil market.

They cannot clean up their own mess entirely. What they did do is donate more money than the whole west combined and a country as small as the UAE accepted 160,000 Syrians the past two years, that's around 159,000 more than the US. You cannot possibly intervene in regional politics and participate in the most disastrous regime change operations without expecting to carry some of the load.
