#1  (1) During the cold war a section of Yugoslavia was called Macedonia. This was done purely to create issues with Greece which had a section called Macedonia as well. (2) The constitution of West Germany was written so that the states of East Germany could be added with little or no effort when the time was right.

Iraq has Shia Arabs areas and Kurdish areas that sprawl into neighboring countries. The Iraqi constitution should be ammended and debated so that Kurdish and Shia Arab areas in neighboring Iran and Syria are open for inclusion into Federal Iraq.

Iran and Syria are pretty sure we won't invade but they're probably convinced their own minorities might rise up if provided with total air cover. And the Shia Arab parts of Saudi Arabia (the unmentioned threat) and Iran is the section with the oil. Iran and Syria would understand the threat and back down in some face-saving way.
