It is a good idea, but this part of the world is very divided (probably intentionally), even the most of the countries speak languages that are so different. People are a bit latent and thick-skinned, something really really wrong must happen so they go out in the streets to protest. Although there are of course some Pros, if all those are Cons ;) All the options are being considered and our world had never been a calm and peaceful place, unfortunately, there are always people who want to grab what isn't theirs... ;)
