Middle Earth meets the real world

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.

I pity Sauron when Aragorn gives the word...

Some things Sauron should consider:
The Hobbit Special Forces are already "in country".
Sauron's "elite" Republican Orcs have had a bad experiance with the Marines of Gondor before to their sorrow.
The Riders of Rohan Air Cavalry are nobody to mess with if you are on the wrong side.
The Ents Blu 82 "Orc Cutters" are devestating.

Sauron's SCUD Trolls and ballistic siege weapons might just strike out on the Shire in a last desperate act of vengenance.

Send in the B-2 Balrogs and B-1 Ents.

"I pity Sauron when Aragorn gives the word..."

They'll run in terror when Anduril slices through their ranks and finally rids Middle Earth of Sauron once and for all.

Don't forget the claim that "Their taking of Osgiliath was no different from Bard's colonization of Dale."

Texas Wasn't Kuwait

Just saw the special "Extended Version" on DVD of FOTR. All the problems I had with the first movie were washed away. It is SO superior to the movie version - I highly recommend it to LOTR fans that have not yet seen it.
