The US has been deluged in a War on Poverty and a "War of Drugs" doesn't mean for one minute that the country is actually at war...

The U.S. surrendered unconditionally in the "War on Poverty" with the election of Ron Reagan.

As for the "War on Drugs", I think the thousands who have been shot & killed might take exception to your statement, Teezer.

That said, comparing either of them with what's going on in Afghanistan and Iraq is really quite idiotic of you, if not unexpected.
