Why Don't We Make Afghanistan a State?

Why don't we just go ahead and make Afghanistan a state? Think about
it, if Afghanistan was a state we could do whatever we wanted with it.
We could search out Al Quetta, make them part of the richest and laxest
penal system and they'd give up.
Also, by making Afghanistan a state we would ensure that no new terror
actions occur in the Continental United States. Why would Al Quetta
bother flying all the way to the Continental United States to blow up
buildings and such when they can just do it in their own back yard.
That's right, because the United States would include their own home
country.
It's just that easy.
Also, if we have anymore problems with other suspect countries in that
region, we'll have no trouble invading them with a home base right in
the middle of the turmoil.
Also, we could passionately put an end to the India/Pakistan nuke
threat by telling them that if they attack one another, the fallout
would definitely reach the United States, namely Afghanistan.
Therefore, their nuclear threat would be a threat to us, and we could
take just action to any nuclear conflict.
The benefits are just enormous.
In addition, we could make Afghanistan one large penal colony and send
all our mass murderers there to test their luck with BIG TIME mass
murders. Hell, we could also send the Olson Twins, Huey Lewis, and
Carrot Top.
Man, sometimes I just wonder what is wrong with our leaders....
