Because partitioning a country into smaller ethnic states has a really great track-record....
The best solution would be to unite Syria and Iraq into one confederation. Ethnically there would be a rough balance between Sunni and Shia, so there's no possibility of a minority oppressing or being oppressed by a majority. If the state was confederal in nature, the decentralization could help lesson tensions and provide some of the benefits of the division plans without sparking even more widespread ethnic cleansing. And finally, the resulting state would be big enough to stand on its own and not be a battle ground for proxy wars.
