As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Antiwar.com,” and originally posted it to my own wall…
“War on Terror (Freeze or I’ll shoot!)
– Invade poor countries to get terrorists
– Destroy homes, confiscate property and jail families of terror suspects
– Accidentally kill & imprison thousands of innocent people
– Ignore underlying causes of terror
– Waste billions of dollars
– Experience failure

War on Drugs (Freeze or I’ll shoot)
– Invade poor neighborhoods to get drug dealers
– Destroy homes, confiscate property and jail families of drug suspects
– Accidentally kill & imprison thousands of innocent people
– Ignore underlying causes of drug use
– Waste billions of dollars
– Experience failure”
(Artwork by Andy Singer, as part of his comic, “No Exit”)
My Commentary: Some major similarities between the fallacious “War on Terror” and “War on Drugs.”
