Sauron's hurry for War? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Interesting point: All of the evil characters in the movie, aye, the book as well, seem to forget to look behind them. For example: Sauron is so obsessed with the Ring, finding it, and the War, that Frodo, Sam, and Gollum, sneak right in the back door, and *poof*, destroy the Ring. Or Saruman at Isengard, forgot to look behind him at the great dam that is broken by the ents of Fangorn, thus putting an end to his evil works, and flooding his orc smelting grounds. Even, the Witch King of Angband, who so believes himself invincible from the Prophecy: 'That no man may send death upon him..', yet he's killed by a woman with the aid of a hobbit. For all of their foresight, seems to me they could have used a bit of hindsight as well.

Besides, Sauron attacking cities the Ring is not in, is all part and parcel to the 'Conquer the World' Racket. He's a powerful evil Lord bent on total destruction, why else would he wage total war? (Of course, I could be wrong, and maybe that's just a way he lets off some loose steam, eh?) [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
