You watched the video but you tuned out the bits that don't fit your view

This is different to, say, Northern Ireland where most people will prefer to give up violence when their living conditions improve. If you improve the living conditions of peoples in the Middle East the Islamists will fight harder.
Zero fact's for this people in Ireland before partition where better off than people say 50 years before therefore by your reckoning it should have lessened violence instead we kicked the empire out.

As far as opposing enemies ideologically, that's not really true. Most wars are fought over material resources.
Show me an example of a war where both countries involved fought over resources and said we don't hate each other we just want the gold it has never happened. The resources are often the reason for the war but the war is sustained by ideological means.
