No, it wasn't. What part are you even talking about?
Israel was at war with all of its neighbors 5 years before Kissinger. The clerics were poised to take power in Iran since the 60s. same thing with the baaths in Iraq.
Europe was in chaos for centuries up until the end of WW2. Since WW2 western powers have worked to keep the middle east in chaos.
