That's pretty clarified :) thanks (I wont reply, it will turn into an essay :D) EDIT: though I will point out your definition of war is somewhat a false argument. Because your referring very specifically to it as a "state of being" - either we are at war or at peace. Which isn't always the case. In a very real sense governments are in conflict with "other parties" over the legality of drugs, their importation and production. So in an absolutely literal sense there is a drugs war :) The simile with Cancer is also incorrect as well as Cancer is a non-concious entity compared to, say, a band of drugs traffickers. Though I do whole heartedly agree it is a much overused word. [I suspect the original poster is referring, to give him the benefit of the doubt, to the actual "battles" with the drug cartels. That is something no amount of legalisation will stop, at least initially; so his is, it is true, a naive view]
