Can anyone think of any other abstract concepts we can declare endless war on? So we’ve got a war on terror and a war on drugs.

Its ugly and has the potential for getting even uglier. I'd urge a close reading of Eva Golinger's latest book, Bush vs. Chavez. Also, check out her latest piece on Venezuela Analysis, "Chronology of the 4th Generation War Against Venezuela," http://www.venezuelanalysis.com/analysis/3287 Uribe's "dodgy dossier" fits with her analysis, unfortunately, like a glove. In my opinion, a "Pinochet option" for both Chavez and Correa, is a distinct possibility though I can't prove it. Golinger's first categories are as follows: "OBJECTIVE Relate Chávez with: *Drug trafficking *Terrorism *A Dictatorship *An Arms Race *Money Laundering *A Threat Against Regional Security" I’m afraid we’re both right.

Looks like you're right, Tom. This little op has US fingerprints all over it.

Substitute the word competition for the word drugs and there's the elusive truth. As in, a war on the competition. Does anyone believe our government really cares if you or your kids use drugs?
