I've been reading announcements of the inauguration of various versions of this pipeline for almost as long as I've been studying Iran and Pakistan -- nearly 3 decades..
Everything you write makes sense, all "rational."
Yet then I remember all the past announcements, all the false starts, and I wonder if this one too is yet another "pipedream." What's different about this time?
Splendid quote, from Adams at his best, in a letter responding to George Wythe's Jan. 1776 solicitation to Adams, for his ideas on constructing a government. How ironic though that Adams' own Presidency would be forever tainted by his zeal for the Alien & Sedition Acts.... "stupid & miserable" forerunner to the Patriot Acts of today, and predicated on fear.
