...you've just changed direction AGAIN to try and discover a real argument.
The Pakistani pipeline thing didn't work..the Yasser thing didn't work...lets go to Uzbekistan.
The CIA says "Current concerns include insurgency by Islamic militants based in Tajikistan and Afghanistan, a non-convertible currency, and the curtailment of human rights and democratization"
Plus...while it may be a nice place to land a plane...it is landlocked and a little off the beaten trail. Sort of like saying make friends in North Dakoda to get you closer to Texas. (Read..wouldn't Oklahoma be a >little< closer?)
Look. I agree to disagree. You don't sit well with that...I don't care.
End of thread.
