Certainly it can happen anywhere, and I was of the view Australia should have toured Pakistan this year.
Nevertheless, the counter-argument to your point is probably "Yeah, it CAN happen anywhere, but it IS happening there at the moment".
Not saying it's right, but that's probably the argument.
Maybe just leave it to the players - if they don't want to go, then don't, but send a team. Aus A toured there last year after all.
Have to say though, based on what I know ATM, which isn't a very informed opinion as I haven't looked into it in detail, I wouldn't go.
