If Eastern Turkestan were an American State, how would you feel?

If Eastern Turkestan were an American territory, the Bush Administration would love it.  Its proximity to Afghanistan would enable American troops to set up a permanent base in Central Asia, and its proximity to both Russia and China would give the U.S. a good spot to keep both in check.  Nevertheless, in the long run, it would spell trouble.  Remember that Ugyurs volunteered in the Taliban forces during the U.S. invasion and occupation of Afghanistan; thus, given the politics, the would make little sense for the Ugyurs to welcome American occupation of Eastern Turketan.  Eastern Turkestan would be strategicall brillant to launch U.S. operations in central Asia, but then, due to the inland nature of the vast, sparsely populated territory, the U.S. would actually be dependent upon China and Russia in the long run.  It would be as preposterous as the U.S. setting up bases in Mongolia.  

Geographically, logistically, and politically, it is improbable for Ugyurs to support American occupation, and impossible for Americans to establish a permanent stonghold in the area.
