Same talk was done with BiH (Bosnia)
Never happen, but were are still there.
I think it would make Pakistan and India so pissed.. but funny.

Sounds like a good idea to me. Establish a permanant base like ar Ramstead, build a infrastructure like top of the line hosp for wounded troops etc etc.
That is a political hot potato. Many of the neighbors would have a cow if we started this. They do not want us there for ever even if they are working with us for this short period in history. It would be like having Russia establish a germinate base in Cuba and put combat forces there........
Strategically it would be good for us but not good for China/Russia/Iran India/Pakistan/etc.......
Just my 2 cents....

I have said in a previous thread that it will take generations to make a permanent change in the area...
