#1 No.. The insane state of Pakiwakiland makes it all insecure.

#2 Terminal security is terminally insecure. The terminals are within the 'sovereign' territory of Pakistan so security is their responsibility. They make little or no attempt to provide security, nor will they permit the US or NATO to provide meaningful security, so we must conclude that it is their intention that the terminals be insecure and that the logistical train to our forces in A'stan be restricted. To me, that makes Pakistani government complicit with our enemies and thus also our enemy. The problem is what to do about it. We do not have the means (military, or more importantly, the will) to actually fight an open (conventional) war with them. Either we continue to play diplsh*t games with them, or we declare victory in A'stan and pull out, or we establish a significant alternate supply route. I lean towards mostly pulling out and just air-mailing some greetings from time to time, but I could be convinced to establish a new supply route from the southwest - say through Bander e Abbas.
