That makes no sense to me at all, Old Galadriel. Saruman himself says that Gandalf is a fool because he "drops his tools as soon as he has finished his task". Would not that constitute as the same sort of "folly"? I realize that "the world of men" is used on many occaisons in the movie, and not only by bad characters, but it is never once to my recolection mentioned in that way in the book. The story is already packed full of underlying themes and symbolism. Thus the question: Why add an additional theme, PJ? Perhaps artistic vision has interfered with the logical portion of his brain? It is useless and degradational. It takes away from the true understanding of Sauron's purpose. He doesn't merely wish to destroy mankind, we wants to gain ultimate control of Middle-Earth as a whole. Men are merely a factor in that main goal. Does everyone understand my question better now?<P>Iarwain
