June 1971: Nixon officially declares a "war on drugs," identifying drug abuse as "public enemy No. 1."
Iraq War and U.S. Global War on Terror began in 2003, when the US invaded Iraq & Bush called the country 'one of the axis of evil' along with Iran & north Korea.
Giving the international community the impression the US just has to be a war with someone or something. They can't focus without a common enemy.

Theres not a real 'date' but I think it started to be more publicised after 9/11, then the Madrid and London bombing, and countless others, the war in terror started on 9/11 mainly for the reason the whole world was shocked and outraged at the events.

By most estimations, the War on Drugs has been an abject failure.
