War on drugs Losing the word war - Juneau Empire http://www.juneauempire.com/stories/072210/opi_680780849.shtml

The phrase 'war on drugs' is a metaphor, and as George Lakoff and Mark Johnson point out in their book 'Metaphors We Live By,' how we use words to frame our behavior often creates our reality. The use of drugs is not something one can go to war with, nor is an ideology something we can go to war with."
