ManWithAPlan - The falsified wars in 1984 weren't to stabilize the economy, they were to distract the people from other social problems. As long as there was a war on, any other issues were secondary.

In that light it could be argued the war on terror serves it's purpose, if one were to presuppose that Dubya reads Orwell.
