The war on drugs will end when we decriminalize recreational drugs an treat addition as a disease and not a crime.
The war on terror will end when we learn to live in the world community with tolerance and respect for the differences of the peoples of the earth and learn that being the world's only supper power does not mean we can be a bully.

4. Neither, none, because there is no real intent to defeat... |
|
only to be used in a political sense. "War on..." sells to the public, makes those who are spouting it seem like they are doing something.

not carter tho, right? did clinton get a "war on"?
any "war on" will do for the warrior types. somebody smarter than me can figure if some of this crap has helped us outlast the USSR. we make up sh*t and feed the money into military and law enforcement, give them a "war on" and voila, instant economy fix. i'm sure there are a million other reasons, and all i got is unsubstantiated claims here, but it makes sense to me.

8. They're both just an excuse to trash the Bill of Rights |
|
and grab money and power while jailing people who aren't lily white and upper middle class.
