So if the Americans are the hobbits…
Apparently, the war in Iraq has a lot in common with a recently adapted-for-film fantasy trilogy. As Salon.com reports, Rick Santorum, “embattled Pennsylvania senator, […] has equated the war in Iraq with J.R.R Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings.”
“‘As the hobbits are going up Mount Doom, the Eye of Mordor is being drawn somewhere else,’ Santorum said. ‘It’s being drawn to Iraq and it’s not being drawn to the U.S. You know what? I want to keep it on Iraq. I don’t want the Eye to come back here to the United States.’”
