roger that - we need to admit the 47 year drug war has failed and only made the mobsters stronger and has not reduced drug addiction one bit
“we need to admit the 47 year drug war has failed”
We need to look at Duterte and admit that we never actually pursued a war on drugs. The most you could say is that we gave drugs a good frowning, stamped our widdle footsies, and whined because the bad old cartels weren’t impressed.
roger that - we need to admit that anything worse now than in 1970 proves efforts to fight it are abysmal failures that need to be abandoned immediately. To wit:
"We need to admit the 47 year battle to secure the southern border has failed and only made the human-smuggling mules stronger and has not reduced illegal immigration one bit."
"We need to admit the 47 year battle to convince liberals to abandon their gun-control agenda has failed and only created more 'gun-free zones'. May as well just hand over our guns now."
"We need to admit the 47 year battle against radical Islam has failed, in light of spiraling increases in global terrorism. Surrender to the Peace of Islam now."
"We need to admit the 47 year battle to wrest control of the US out of the hands of Liberals has failed, and that Conservatives are slow learners who clearly should have surrendered the day after the 1964 election".

Hmm.... maybe what we really need to do is to learn lessons on how we should learn lessons from history?
Oops, did I misplace my "sarcasm" tag? I'm sure it's here somewhere....
