Not again! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] Methinks he missed the point entirely. Warmongering? Wow. He must've slept through part of the movie. I mean, was it just me, or were they only at war because the fate of the world was at stake? It wasn't a preventative war, which is the sort of war that America's looking at right now. But even if it was, Nenya's right--the universe doesn't revolve around America. Myself, I'm an American, and I'm sick of hearing people go on about how the Lord of the Rings is a reflection of America's current state.

Oh yeah. That'll work. It was only written fifty years prior.

Honestly, apparently it hasn't stopped at the Twin Towers/Two Towers comparison, it's gone on to people saying that the whole atmosphere and storyline reflects America's future. I think that it's entirely ridiculous, but I guess everybody's entitled to their own opinion, even if it is stupid.

By the way, since when was Saruman the main bad guy? Did they change something while I wasn't looking? [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]
