You interpetation of recent history is quit amusing. Which country do you live in that has not been saved the "evil" Americans in the last two generations: Austrialia, Canada, Britain, France or Germany? And which country in the world would not be under the totalitarian boot heel of Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan or Communist China if not for the Americans and which countries would be safe from despots, dictators and terrorist if America was not on alert. Sounds more like Aragorn than Sauron. America is not without sin, but which counrty is: Austrailia, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, China, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Nigeria, Zambabwe, Saudi Arabia? And the List goes on and on and on and continues to do so. If you are glad you are not an America, so am I, however, I am an American and millions, yes MILLIONS, of oppressed peoples from every corner of the glode risk there lives every year to become an "evil" American. Does not sound like Mordor to me. I will admit that most American do not know their own history, let alone world history. But I know both, and I can guarantee that I know it better than you. And finally George W. Bush is not some evil tyrant looking to enslave the world, but a determined leader forced to act on the behalf of his people (like Gandalf, Aragorn, Eomer, Faramir) against an enemy (like Sauron) that will never stop untill Western civilization is destroyed.
