My guess is that the Kucinich campaign is counting on people remembering more of the story line than you (and probably most of the high schoolers made to read <i>1984</i>) retained, and connecting the War on Terror to Big Brother and "War is Peace". In your case, however, it seems to have backfired. Ah well - you're not exactly their target demographic anyway. :-p Here’s the Wiki article on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four - I think you’re thinking of “War Is Peace” and the other contradictory slogans.

(The book, not the year.) I know I was in High School a LOOONG time ago, but that sounds eerily similar to something from that book. I should read it again, maybe...
