2. The answer is simple

1) If we create an independent Kurdistan then the Kurds in Turkey, and most likely in Iran will also want to join it. This will create a huge problem with our NATO ally Turkey, potentially bringing it into war with the newly-created Kurdistan and possibly Iran.

2) Iran will either annex the Shiite part of the former Iraq, or run it with a puppet regime

3) Nobody will ever be satisfied with the borders of the three states, and the fratricide will continue nonetheless, so why bother risking the other two?
