Clinton didn't coin the phrase "war on drugs". Clinton didn't appoint the first "drug tzar". He certainly did nothing to change it, but all that shit was started by the Republican Party and dear old Dad Bush. It would have been political suicide for Clinton to repeal the drug laws at that time, it was an incredibly popular "program". Still is, unfortunately.
Where in the world did you get the idea that GHWBush started the War On Drugs?
Because he did? Clinton didn't start it hon, and he wasn't the first to appoint a "drug tzar", that was GHW's baby, back when he was VP under Reagan. I was in elementary school when the war on drugs began, it wasn't something that Clinton came up with, no matter how you spin it. Like I said before, he perpetuated it, but he didn't start it.
And I have no idea why you think you know what kind of publication I would agree with. I am neither familiar with that site, nor do I know it's credentials.
