Congratulations....
...you've just changed direction AGAIN to try and discover a real argument.
#2.
The Pakistani pipeline thing didn't work..the Yasser thing didn't work...lets go to Uzbekistan.
#3.
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"
#4.
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?)
THEN you say:
Look. I agree to disagree. You don't sit well with that...I don't care.
Oh, poor baby. Looks like I didn't let you get away with introducing more criteria before you ran.
Let me explain the courtesy of this to you, Bill "strawman" Patient.
When you "agree to disagree" you do NOT try to refute previous points.
If you are trying to refute previous points, the discussion is continuing.
But, why am I surprised that you don't understand basic courtesy.
After all, the strawman is your favorite "discussion" technique.
Grow up.
