For the last few decades, the Conservatives of this country have been running the so-called "War on Drugs", and have failed spectacularly. What on Earth was the country thinking when they put them in charge of the "War on Terror"?
Of course, it could be argued that the War on Drugs was just a sham, designed to maintain the military/industrial complex as the Cold War wound down. Certainly we seem to have gone from one unending war to the next, all of which have been good for the GOP, increasingly bad for the Constitution, and which have contained steadily decreasing levels of sense and effectiveness. (One can only hope that the War on Terror goes on forever, I shudder to think what the next "War" will be on, and how it will affect us.)

Maybe we'll get lucky and the silly bastards will declare war on themselves. They're inept enough to do it.
And yet, as bad (i.e., stupid, inept, unbelievable, unamerican, unconstitutional) as that next "war" will be, we (the collective "We", not you and I) will probably fall for it.
The war on drugs isn's a sham to those who lose their careers for having a dime bag of pot in their cars. If you're going to admitit's a sham, please write to your local, state, and federal officials telling them that we have better and more important ways to spend our money.
