I agree that the "War On Drugs" could very well be settled by decriminalizing drugs and the cartels would be put out of business. In reality,however, I don't see that happening in the U.S., especially because of how conservative Congress has become. The way I look at it, if someone wants to take any drug in their own place of residence, the government should not interfere. I wonder how the Supreme Court would rule if that case ever came before them.

However, comparing that to the "War On Terror" is quite a different story. The 9/11 attacks were not imaginged, or made-up. Al-Quida, ISS and Boko Harem are real threats and should not be taken lightly.
