1984 comes 20 years late

I was terrified when Bush declared war, not on a foreign nation, but on a concept: terrorism. How can any nation hope to win a war waged against an idea? “The war is not meant to be won. It is meant to be continuous.” (Bonus points for anyone who can tell me from whence the quote comes. It was used to finish Fahrenheit 911, and it is generally attributed to Orwell, but I can't find it in the searchable text of 1984.)

For anyone who argues that there are only two options, fight terrorism or pretend everything will be okay, I offer an alternative expense-sheet for how the money that has already been spent on pre-emptively invading Iraq to find weapons that didn't exist could have been better spent to actually protect Americans.

Edit: Already deleted from YouTube; sorry if you missed it. This was a trailer for Joss Whedon's new series, "Dollhouse," about operatives who can have their memories altered to become new people.
