    - it was worse than nothing. the Taliban controls more of the country than they did 20 years ago, plus now they have modern military equipment. -- nm - mafic Aug 26, 20:07
    - What's next? It's only called carpet bombing if it's from the Da Nang region. Everywhere else it's Sparkling Peace Rugs. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 26, 19:45

    - That's amazing. I can only hope that will happen at a show that I go to -- nm - JD Aug 26, 18:08 2
      - They do it for shows with big collectors, PJ, NIN, FF. -- nm - jnine Aug 26, 18:17 1
