The US's War on Drugs has cost trillions of dollars. The War on Terror has also been very costly. Both have had debatable impacts compared to the goals they appeared to have. Which has been less successful, and why do you feel that way?

War on drugs. Drugs are cheaper, more potent, and more available.

The war on drugs has been far less successful. Not everybody thinks of "drugs" as a common enemy. Nobody likes terrorists!

The war on drugs, because the failed strategy and execution of it has costs way more thousands of U.S. deaths and ruined lives than the war on terror.

Less successful? I'm almost inclined to say it's a tie.

Neither have been successful, however of the two, the war on terror has been the least.

CPT Aaron Kletzing I would go w/ the war on drugs being the less successful. The war on terror has a measurable result. While new terrorists do spring up, resources are limited & can be "headed off at the pass" by getting to potential recruits before they are swayed "to the dark side".
The war on drugs, however, does not have a very measurable result. New drugs are created every day. Hell, look at Meth - just throw together whatever you can & lets see if we can get high off of it. Or the drug continues to grow naturally. In order to fully effect a war on drugs, one would need to eradicate plants & the pharmaceutical companies.
