Two days later, Tariq and Laila rush to the lobby of the hotel after hearing a commotion. They watch the events of 9/11 unfold, and they hear the discussion that follows about Afghanistan, the Taliban, and Osama bin Laden. Tariq tells Laila that Afghanistan will not turn over Osama bin Laden, because they are claiming to adhere to a Pashtun custom of hospitality, but Tariq knows that the Taliban are distorting the custom. Laila and Tariq learn that President Bush declares the war on terror, naming Afghanistan as an enemy. This means they have to be extra careful in whatever they decide to do. Tariq claims it is not so bad, but Laila responds that innocent people are dying. She snaps that he does not know war, because he had left Kabul.
