Bump and thanks for bringing this back -- missed it the first time. Especially good reading after having seen ROTK. The comments above have great insights and background I have not gotten from the books, mostly because I have not been able to plod through The Silmarillon for the myth behind the story. I took the "going into the West" by the Elves as allegory for death. Wrong, as usual for me.

So, LadyDoc, how did you find this article? Did you just see ROTK and search FR for Tolkien?
Re-reading it after a year, it is still apt for ROTK and the victory of the men of the West over the Easterlings and the Harridrim. (Insert your favorite defeated terrorist group here).
Spengler doesn't always get it right, but stirring up the fat hobbits of the US is definitely bad for orcs.
