To be honesty, I think the whole region needs to have a single, large, all encompassing war to sort out the racial, ethnic, religious, tribal divides. And it should happen without the interference of outside agencies, apart from providing humanitarian assistance.
It sounds cruel, I know, but the region has basically been at war for several thousand years. both dues to internal differences and external intervention/invasion. If it weren't for the oil, most of us wouldn't give a fuck what was happening in the region.
You made some good points but I don't agree with the idea of providing humanitarian assistance because it just prolongs the conflict. The fastest way to end a war is a total blockade to the entire war zone for everyone in it.
