Apologies for lack of clarity. I meant legalizing in the western countries, so long as not grown in Afghanistan, to cut off Taliban revenue.
I had long thought they just did that as a temporary ruse to raise world prices. But maybe I was taken in by a conspiracy theory. Your link suggests it was conceivably a cartel move, but far from proven to be that, 20 years ago,
.
However, today, the Taliban does allow and tax production:
Profits and poppy: Afghanistan’s illegal drug trade a boon for Taliban
The Taliban are sincerely against local heroin consumption. I expect that Afghanistan’s heroin addicts are one of the less sympathetic groups worried about what comes next.
I’m thinking more something less intense but with more long-term persistence, like recurring itchy hemorrhoids.
Diarrhea and flatulence ARE COVID symptoms for some people.
I have not been able to find this graphic, but shortly after 9/11, someone Photoshopped (or whatever it was called then) Osama bin Laden’s head on a man’s body, and the WTC tower with the big antenna on it was also Photoshopped to be raping said man. It was circulated extensively via e-mail, and I even saw some MTV news program where that picture was blown up to poster size and put on the wall, and fuzzied, but I knew what it was.
I wish all violent religious extremists of all religions everywhere on the planet to suddenly and mysteriously teleport off the planet to somewhere in the vicenity of Pluto. That’s Boka Haram and ISIS and Al Qaeda and Y’all Qaeda and all of them.
Pluto probably wouldn’t want them either!
Anywhere in the Kuiper Belt to Oort Cloud area would do nicely.
Maybe they’ll get sucked into a black hole.
Am I a bad person for wishing all the Taliban fighters would get COVID?
COVID is mainly dangerous to old people, and people with pre-existing conditions.
Most of the Taliban fighters are young and physically fit.
People in that demographic rarely develop symptoms.
The few with symptoms, rarely get sick.
The few who get sick, rarely need hospitalization.
The few who need hospitalization, rarely die.
Your attempt at vindictiveness is rather weak.
