60. Yes, Viggo is an excellent person
as well as an excellent actor. It is very noble of him to support such a cause.

On the issue of LOTR applying to the real world, one famous scene from ROTK comes to mind. In this scene, Denethor orders Faramir to retake Osgiliath which is overrun by the armies of Mordor. Hundreds of troops march towards Osgiliath while Denethor stuffs himself like a glutton and while Pippin is singing to him. I couldn't help but thinking of Denethor as Bush, ordering his troops to their death in Iraq instead of defending Minas Tirith (USA) against the coming attack. Go and watch the Return of the King and compare it to current events. The comparisons are incredible.
