You know, this just goes to show what a transcendental wonderful piece of work Tolkien wrote truly was! Look at how many different interpretations and little stories people can find within its pages. (Albeit some rather...radical) As for anti american sentiment...hm..well...if the most people have to worry about is whether or not the title may have refered to some insult in the past, then I think National Security has actually worked. Interesting that some people would think it could lead to the next Red Scare...I'm surprised they haven't called Tolkien a communist...although I am sure I spoke too soon, for someone has surly said that amongst all these rumors. :P I prefer to look at the brighter side however and admire the fact that people can find so many different interpretations and how this book sparks imagination to take flight to new heights.
