Just as 'war on drugs', 'war on crime', 'war on poverty' have all been used to convey a comforting feeling that our various fearless leaders are on the job. Just a thought. With a little political correctness in these Orwellian times we may live to see the surge on drugs or the surge on poverty. Since we have yet to win any of those wars on nouns, a name change is macht nichts. In many ways, the war in Afghanistan is a surge on drugs. We are having the same levels of success there as we have had with all the surges on drugs in S America.
