Its going to be fought in EXACTLY the same way as the war on drugs. Thats a lousy analysis. There is a large demand for drugs, but I don't think there is a large demand for terrorism.

Powell said it, not me. Also the same thing was reported as coming from our side in the British press about a week ago. Also the analogy is correct. War on Drugs is against a few "ringleaders" (i.e. whatever cartel happens to be holding sway now). War on Terrorism is against a few ringleaders (Al Quaeda). It will also be fought domestically in the same exact manner. By reducing your freedoms and implementing ever tighter "security" measures domestically. Tell me where I am wrong (Aside from merely asserting that I am). Ashcroft is even now seeking that very thing. Powell, even now, (and Rumsfeld and Ari Fleischer too) are saying that this is a war against ringleaders (my word). So how is that different in anything other than subject matter than the War on Drugs?
