During Amanpour's recent broadcast, it was stated to the Mexican Foreign Minister that marijuana was legalized only in California, stating that this was but a small fraction of the country. However, it should be noted that the number of states to legalize marijuana for medicinal purposes has grown rapidly over the past decade to 14 states in all. Rather than dismissing the argument of legalizing marijuana to attack the narco-trafficking problem in Mexico, it should be taken as a legitmate argument considering the growing of public support within the United States for such a policy. Too much responsibility is placed on foreign governments when the roots of the problem are high demand and the cumbersome policies of the drug war.

Zayyanu Abubakar Saddiq I think people should be allowed to dress with what ever they feel comfortable with, as far as such dress does not inflict any damage to anybody around.
Raul Billy People should have the right to dress as they want,or as their various customes demand,but in a world where terrorism has taken centre stage,we should not forget that every nation has the right to defend itself,wether it be banning or limiting the use of certain atires that seem to pose a degree of threat to a nation should not be seen as hate,oppression or misunderstanding,but rather as a means of self defence.protected its people. Let us not forget that when you leave your nation for another,they also have laws and customs you must adhear to.
Ihindan Shityle Americans are quick to air everything that happens outside their shores but choose to keep to chest the enormous crime in there.
Mohammad Farsi The people should be freee to choose their dress so long as they do not use that as a political ploy. What we have seen in some western countries is not the will of a person, it is political to prove a point or points. In many cases the person using the dress code is under pressure from some unsean political forces above. In such cases the action is not freedom of choice and should be prohibited.
