Also loving this LOTR thing. Tovi, you are basically like the Easternlings. Just because Gondor kicked the shit out of them and took their lands, they think they will live better under the rule of Sauron and orcs. Gondor really is an asshole at times, but thats no excuse to kiss ass to Sauron.
How is it not an excuse? West says:"Russia = bad". Russia replies:"But, USA is bad". They never make the argument:"No, russia is not bad".
