But we might as well pour as much money into a War on "Terror" as we poured into a War on "Drugs" - because that worked out very successfully, didnt' it?

.

I don't understand this logic. So we are fighting terrorism, but, since it has been going on forever, and will continue in one form or another forever, we shouldn't try? Following this logic, we should disband the police force in every city in this country. People have always stolen stuff, murders have taken place since the beginning of time, etc, so we shouldn't try to fight that anymore? Just let people do what they want to do, kill whoever, because we can't stop all killings, so we shouldn't try?
