Of the two main proposed pipelines to transport petrochemicals out of Eurasia to market, one goes from Turkmenbashi towards Chardzhou in Turkmenistan, then south through Afghanistan. Afghanistan is a dangerous place, too unstable in which to build a pipeline. That's why there was a war in Afghanistan. The other proposed pipeline goes from Baku to Tbilisi, through the 'complicated' country of Georgia, then south to Midyat in Turkey (where it meets with the already-built pipeline which goes to Ceyhan on the Mediterranean). Georgia is a dangerous place, too unstable in which to build a pipeline. That's one of the reasons the Americans have moved Special Operations forces to Georgia.
