Yes I can. It begins with our borders.

That's describing tactics, not an end result that would constitute 'victory'. Is sealing the border the end-game? Right now, the WoD extends it's reach much farther than just what's coming across the border, and beyond just controlling drugs (the DEA was a willing participant in Fast and Furious).

From a standpoint of legitimate federal authority, control of drugs crossing our international border is within the original intent of the powers granted to the federal government. They have used fradulent interpretations of the Commerce Clause to extend that far beyond the powers that were understood and intended by the people who wrote and ratified the enumeration of powers granted to them by the states.

OK fine. You don’t like my solution to ending the WOD. You want a clear cut point of victory? How would YOU define victory in the War on Terror? How about the War on Murder.

OK, since we will always be “at war” with these problems, do you dare suggest the libertarians are right and we should just surrender in our WOD, WOT, WOM etc?

If we legalize it, then its not a crime; its not a problem; and we can all go stick our heads in the sand and pretend everytings is fine.
