It's a well-known fact that politicians can't tackle a problem without declaring a "war" on it. War on Drugs, War on Poverty...
The War on Drugs is another good reason to hate the Celtics, by the way. If Len Bias hadn't died, the whole thing would have been nothing more than Nancy Reagan appearing on Different Strokes and simultaneously getting Todd Bridges, Gary Coleman and Dana Plato hooked on crack.
