Nice analogy. The "War on Terror" is an excuse to be permanently at war and to justify all sorts of things that would never be acceptable in peacetime, such as the suspension of habeus corpus and other civil liberties.

Gee! You read Orwell's "1984". How glib. How jejuene. Now go and get a copy of "Milestones" by Sayeed Qutb. It's now in English and available in paperback. That way you might grasp what this war is all about and what a real threat the sdalafist Jihadists pose. BTW, that book is considered to be the "Mein Kampf" of the Jihadist movement.

Nice analogy.
Not entirely accurate, since Oceania has not deployed troops into Brussels or Seoul or Florence to force them to act a certain way. But still, I like the thought.
