Is the war on terror like the war on drugs?

It's like the war on drugs. You bust one drug house, and another one pops up around the corner to replace it. Same with terrorists. Kill 10 of them, then 50 pop up to replace the 10. You can't declare "victory" against a war on terror. You can't say "I've won the war on terror!" Unless you can somehow perform the immpossible by preventing future terrorists from becoming terrorists. You'd have to be omni-present to stop all terrorism. It will always be around, just like drugs. It's a perpetual "battle". The "war" on terrorism can't be "won", only stablized for a small amount of time.
