Is Orwell's "Perpetual War" Here?

Call me paranoid, or maybe call the Pentagon paranoid, or perhaps self-aggrandizing. Your choice.

But this piece from the WSJ's Opinion Journal about the "Long War" sounds eerily like the "Perpetual War" in Orwell's 1984.

Can one agree that there are "threats" and "zealots," and yet that planning a long, perpetual war is, perhaps, an over-reaction?

I say yes.

-Robert Capozzi

Free-for-all (frfr-ôl) -- n. A disorderly fight, argument, or competition in which everyone present participates.
