Tsk, tsk. "Mayhem he thinks this is," *said in best Yoda-like imitation*
Thenamir, I seem to recall Tolkien quite firmly repudiating topical references in the Foreward to the Second Edition.
And I don't think it enlarges our appreciation of Tolkien or our understanding of current world events to appropriate literature or mythology, to either side, even in jest.
Respectfully,

EDIT: Nor do I think it is in keeping with Barrow Downs policy to attempt to bring in current affairs.
