#1 A good solution would be that the Kurdish and Sunni regions split off together from the Shiite areas.
Since there are more Shiites than the others together, the Shiites will be able to dominate any election they can unite on. This would be a prescription for disaster.
The Kurds and Sunni's have poor historical relations, but would have more foreign support and be a buffer between Syria and possibly Iran dominated Shiite Iraq.Internally they could both be as autonomous as they want. If Israel and Saudi Arabia can live at peace with one another, the Kurds and Sunni Iraqis can also.
