Oh, it's a great marketing campaign, but it makes lousy policy. That's because you can't WIN a war on crime, or a war on drugs, or a war on terror. A war phrased like that would mean that we'd be involved in a NEVER ENDING war.
And that's exactly how it's turned out.
Fortunately, adults have taken over the White House, and these never ending wars are going to find an end. The Drug War is the first to go. That's GOOD for us.
