A Strategy to Pacify

A strategy to pacify the regions of Iraq and Syria is to let the Shia, Sunni and Kurdish political unions self organize into the respective states rather than trying to hold together artificially drawn boundaries of the European powers post Ottoman Empire.  U. S. Support for Kurds in Syria Angers Turks is a natural Status Quo reaction that needs to be resisted. The Kurds are the most functional political union of Iraq and Syria. They are a natural ally to help pacify the region and to deny them their dream of a Kurdistan of their own would be counterproductive, idiotic actually.
Because the U.S. has still not figured out the strategy is to pacify, the Administration is still holding onto the losing policy of trying to hold Iraq together. Maliki, the former Prime Minister of Iraq, destroyed such a possibility and its just not not understandable how a careful analytical President such as Barack Obama doesn't see it.
