Every time we Americans declare a war on an inanimate object, we lose. Cases in point: the War on Alcohol (Prohibition) 1920s and '30s, the War on Poverty 1960s and the War on Drugs 1980-present. Consequently, we should not be surprised that declaring war on drugs in Afghanistan would be a debacle.
