I don't know Mike. The problems of the middle east were created over long periods of time and do not lend themselves to quick and easy solutions. If I were to redraw the map of everything, most of west-central Iraq would go to Jordan, the plateau of Anatolia would become Turkey, the plateau of Iran would become Iran, northern Kuwait would go to Iraq (which would be the remaining Shia part). But none of that is going to happen. The reason we have so many conflicts there is that the lines were drawn in such a way as to create conflict in the first place.
