More effective than the war on crime? Absolutely. More effective than the war on drugs? Hard to say, and that question might even be a bit fallacious. More effective than the war on people? Doubtful. But at least we're using the same techniques — blow up the enemy, kill without remorse — that have helped us end so many human lives.
What am I talking about? Haven't a clue, although in my defense, the bar exam is one week away. But per CNN.com, the U.S. military earlier today dropped a series of 1000 lb. bombs on a dusty, poppy-seed-filled field in Afghanistan today. I assume that this means that those poppy seeds have been neutralized, which will in turn lead to an increase in the price of opium (windfall to the Taliban!) and a whole new crop of poppies grown to take the place of their fallen comrades.
