Such a plan would have to include letting each 1/3 area self-secure and self-govern in the main.

How long would it take? How long did it take in Yugoslavia? If you count Kosovo, then one could argue that it is still happening.

As for ethnic cleansing; what do you call what the Kurds are doing in Kirkuk right now?

As for the Kurds accepting or wanting an autonomous zone inclusive of Kirkuk and the Kirkuk oilfields: Question - where would they ship the oil that comes out of Kirkuk?
