I feel the purpose of the war was primarily to maintain a balance of power in the region. If the countries are of about equal power or equal lack of power if you will, they won't be as anxious to start pitched battles. Of course friction between the zillions of factions will continue but hopefully those will be of limited scale.
Oh, and Israel is exempt of course.
