Don't get overwrought, Buddy.

Your approach seems to be let the contending groups draw lines and settle differences. The trouble is, they all want oil, and they'll fight each other until one or the other group gets it all. When that happens, and a Saddam type gets the power again, then all bets are off.

I know how Iraq came into existence. It's a gawd-awful mess, I agree. However, it would work if western ideals and principles were able to get a foothold in that medieval region. They have to come into the current century and forget old offenses. Why can't they see how Germany and Japan prospered after we whipped them soundly? The same can happen in Iraq.
