The War on Terrorism is the second declared war by the current administration. The War on Drugs From Columbia is equally impressive. 1) $1.3 billion spent spent so far this year. 2) A lot of Co-operation from the Columbian government and military 3) Terrain difficult but accessible 4) Language...Spanish and American Dollars 5) Architect of the program...Colin Powell 6) Co-operation of nearby countries...very high 7) Impact on drugs in America...very little My point being that the war on terrorism will be much more difficult, expensive, and prolonged. Regards, Jerome

ot I renamed them 'the dogs of war'. A little literary background to your naming from a portion of Mark Antony's famous stirring of the people over Cæsar’s murdered body... And Cæsar’s spirit, ranging for revenge, With Ate by his side come hot from hell, Shall in these confines with a monarch’s voice Cry ‘Havoc!’ and let slip the dogs of war Shakespeare, JULIUS CAESAR, Act 3, Scene 1 -Mark Antony RO O, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth, That I am meek and gentle with these butchers! Thou art the ruins of the noblest man That ever lived in the tide of times. Woe to the hand that shed this costly blood! Over thy wounds now do I prophesy, --- Which, like dumb mouths, do ope their ruby lips, To beg the voice and utterance of my tongue --- A curse shall light upon the limbs of men; Domestic fury and fierce civil strife Shall cumber all the parts of Italy; Blood and destruction shall be so in use And dreadful objects so familiar That mothers shall but smile when they behold Their infants quarter'd with the hands of war; All pity choked with custom of fell deeds: And Caesar's spirit, ranging for revenge, With Ate by his side come hot from hell, Shall in these confines with a monarch's voice Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war; That this foul deed shall smell above the earth With carrion men, groaning for burial.
