Thanks for the forward, mom. :)
[q]Peace in Middle Earth in our time
MINAS TIRITH (Gondor News Network) - Thousands of peace activists took to the streets of Minas Tirith and other cities of Middle Earth today to protest what they termed a rush to war with Mordor.
"We need more time for diplomacy," said a key member of the Middle-Earth Security Council, Saruman the White. "I am not convinced by the evidence presented by my esteemed colleague, Gandalf the Grey, or that the Dark Lord Sauron presents an imminent danger to the peoples of the West."
Many of the people protesting war in Mordor agreed with Saruman's remarks. "Sauron says he's destroyed his Rings of Mass Destruction (RMD) and that's good enough for me," said one fellow carrying a sign that said "Elrond is a Balrog." Another demonstrator urged, "Give the RMD inspectors more time. There's no reason to rush to any judgment just because Mount Doom is belching lava, the Dark Tower is rebuilt, and Osgiliath has been decimated." A third protester piped up, "I haven't heard a single bit of convincing evidence connecting the Nazgul with Sauron. I think they destroyed Osgiliath on their own initiative without any support from Sauron. Besides, it's understandable they're angry with Gondor. We haven't done nearly as much for the Orcs and Goblins and Easterlings as the Nazgul and Sauron have. It's understandable they throw their support to them. It's our own fault really."
As the protesters continued their march through the city, they chanted, "No blood for Mount Doom," voicing a common sentiment that the leaders of the Western peoples are really seeking to get their hands on the powerful Mount Doom, where the One Ring of Power was allegedly forged.
Gandalf the Grey was unavailable for comment. A spokesman said he was in an undisclosed underground location, which sources have revealed is codenamed: Moria.

:wtf: :wtf:
Havent you seen the pictures, its Bush that has the ring, not Saddam..whoever did this story has no idea what they're talking about...everyone knows the protest was at Rivendell, not Minas Tirith...just another example of pro-war, anti Orc propaganda..
I think everyone should just lay off Sauron for a bit. He's only trying to get back his ring, it belongs to him. Isildur stole it, plain and simple. I mean, isnt it enough that practicaly no one will trade with Mordor, stifling their economy. As for the whole "The Nine are running amuck" story, thats totally unconfirmed, and I wouldnt be suprised if it was just Elrond and his elves posing as Black Rider..those Elves are a sneaky bunch
I think Mordor has been through enough already at the hands of the "Free" Peoples. Think of the humanitarian crisis, thousands of Orcs would be left homeless, without food or water

Heh, it's weird how just now I realized Sauron and Saruman start with the same letter.

Do you know how far I got into the books when I first started reading them ages ago that they were talking about 2 different people? That's the reason for the first time re-reading the books. :p
