#1 Karzai needs to understand the very simple fact that the US will only lower the security posture when the threat is gone. But I guess he figures if he lowers the barriers at the USEMB then we will look like a better target than he does. But you got to give it to him for his trying, lower his threat level by making everyone else an easier target.

#2 Sure thing. Now just remove all those "security barriers" around your loya jirga meeting places. Reciprocity, gotta love it.

#3 Message to Hamid Karzai and Yousuf Stanezal.

Dear Sirs,
In reference to your desire to remove security barriers, are you aware that this is American Soil, over which you have absolutely no command or control?

We will remove these barriers under one condition, if there is a successful breach involving American Casualties we will find and execute you both.

End message.
