We have not declared a "war on murder" so maybe it is the idea of a "war on drugs" that is ridiculous.
As I mention down thread, the Vietnam (American) War was not ever a declared war. I don't think the USA has declared war on any country since WWII. There is a good argument to be made that it would be better if the USA didn't use military force unless it declares war first.
I am not arguing in favour of any of these ideas, but that we have never actually declared war on drugs so the idea of failure is meaningless
