If the USA is half as good in fighting terorism as it was in creating a bubble it will reign victorious

the only rationale for the so-called 'war on drugs' is to make politicians look good (they appear to be 'doing something') and to keep an armada of people employed that are profiting from it, on the backs of a small class of drug users that are criminalized for a 'crime' that hurts no-one but themselves. everyone from the law enforcement agencies, the therapists, and the mafia bosses wants this 'war' kept going...they all have jobs that way, and the mafia bosses profits would actually be non-existent if drugs were - gasp! heresy! - legalized.

The war on drugs is a ridiculous exercise in futility. The only people who benefit are the construction companys that build prisons. We imprison a larger percentage of our population than any other nation on earth. Perhaps with a real war to fight we will stop throwing money and lives away attempting the impossible.
