Iranian carpets and Afghani carpets are different.

See chador and burqa.

I'll take Iran's carpet, thanks.

I'll take no carpet at all, thanks.

Oh, right. There's no direct contact even though the Taliban actually responded to the demands.

On 21 September 2001, the Taliban responded to the ultimatum, promising that if the United States could bring evidence that bin Laden was guilty, they would hand him over, stating there was no evidence in their possession linking him to the 11 September attacks

And hasn't there been several pages pointing out that the ultimatum was stupid and ultimately still unfullfilled?

How were the demands stupid?

All the Taliban needed to do was to hand over Bin Laden, all the Al Qaeda people, and close the terrorist camps. No need for war. No need for anyone to die.

Are you seriously going to argue that the Taliban should have been allowed to continue harboring known terrorists and they should be allowed to continue operating terrorist camps?

If the entire world legalized marijuana, it would have been a better place.

Being able to safely cultivate hemp would be nicest. It'd probably ruin the wood pulp industry, though.

Industrial hemp has a horrible problem of not having enough THC though.

Kids eat enough paper as it is.

Well, yeah. That's not why industrial hemp is awesome, though. For the record, I don't use pot, despite what the crazed rantings of Zine claim (though I wish I could).

I've got business ideas related to hemp, but the drug war makes it an annoying prospect even up here ("Look officer, this isn't pot! Honest!"). Anyway, back to the train wreck.

I don't use pot anymore either. But I'm fully aware that, if it was legal worldwide, this whole thread wouldn't last this long. Hence, the world would have been a nicer place.

Move to Canada? EDIT: Oh, right.
