True
The war on crime is unwinable.
Somewhat true but it is controllable.
Think about how many resources we would have to fight real crimes with
victims if we stopped trying to fight victimless crimes.
If people want to hurt themselves, let them. It is none of our
business.
The war on terrorism is unwinable.
True
But again it is controllable.
Wars, the way we fight them, are unwinable.
True
We should change the way we fight wars. We are using a 19th century
philosophy of take ground and hold it, in a 21st century world where
the enemy lives inside our perimeter. That has been true since
Vietnam.

I won't nit pik with you on what you say is controllable. I assume that
you say drug use is a "victimless" crime. I strongly disagree on that
point. Think about it.
