I actually am very interested in this question, and ask it with seriousness. My wife and children don't think I am utterly sane to ask what the inner life of Orcs is like, but they must have an inner life, an understanding of life and their place in it. How can Sauron have extinguished their very souls? The orcs are not wargs, unconscious animals, but something more like us. Not machines of destruction.

Can any of you, fellow Tolkien admirers, help me with this?

Instead of posting this over and over you should wait until tomorrow when the news about Saddams capture slows. No one really cares about Tolkien right now

Orcs would be on a par with inner city blacks or the kind of stuff we saw in Rawanda.

There’s your answer.
