Finwe, that was beautiful, you speech was almost as good as Sam's <BR>I agree with everything all of you are saying. When I first saw the movies (this was before I had read the books, long story...) I was amazed how everything reflected current events even though Tolkien hated comparing the stories to today. Actually one time Sean Astin said that the speech was one of the things that was done during the re-shoots, and he thought it was something that the president would probably say.
