MINAS TIRITH (Gondor News Network) - Thousands of peace activists took
to the streets of Minas Tirith and other cities of Middle Earth today
to protest what they termed a rush to war with Mordor.

"We need more time for diplomacy," said a key member of the
Middle-Earth Security Council, Saruman the White. "I am not convinced
by the evidence presented by my esteemed colleague, Gandalf the Grey,
or that the Dark Lord Sauron presents an imminent danger to the
peoples of the West."

Many of the people protesting war in Mordor agreed with Saruman's
remarks. "Sauron says he's destroyed his Rings of Mass Destruction
(RMD) and that's good enough for me," said one fellow carrying a sign
that said "Elrond is a Balrog." Another demonstrator urged, "Give the
RMD inspectors more time. There's no reason to rush to any judgment
just because Mount Doom is belching lava, the Dark Tower is rebuilt,
and Osgiliath has been decimated." A third protester piped up, "I
haven't heard a single bit of convincing evidence connecting the
Nazgul with Sauron. I think they destroyed Osgiliath on their own
initiative without any support from Sauron. Besides, it's
understandable they're angry with Gondor. We haven't done nearly as
much for the Orcs and Goblins and Easterlings as the Nazgul and Sauron
have. It's understandable they throw their support to them. It's our
own fault really."

As the protesters continued their march through the city, they
chanted, "No blood for Mount Doom," voicing a common sentiment that
the leaders of the Western peoples are really seeking to get their
hands on the powerful Mount Doom, where the One Ring of Power was
allegedly forged.

Gandalf the Grey was unavailable for comment. A spokesman said he was
in an undisclosed underground location, which sources have revealed is
codenamed: Moria.


Why We Must Avoid War with Mordor

Grima Wormtongue

New Gondor Times Opinion Editorial

There are many in Gondor who would counsel war with Mordor, pickers of
bones, meddlers in other men's sorrows, carrion-fowl that grow fat on
war. While wizards and enchanters like that Stormcrow Gandalf and
theSorceress of the Golden Wood conspire to stage a power struggle
with the rightfull Lord of the Rings, they intend to use us as cannon
fodder in their schemes to gain control of the One Ring of Power for
themselves.

While none would deny that Sauron has committed evil acts, there was a
time when Numenor took counsel with Morgoth. One must ask why was it
acceptable for the wise to listen to the counsel of Morgoth who it
seems was not a threat, yet they claim that Sauron must be eradicated.
There are other dark forces in the Middle Earth today. Are we to
pursue each and every dark power which wishes to rule Middle Earth and
enslave all men and elves? If we did, we would be constantly enmeshed
in fighting such wars. Furthermore Sauron's greatest atrocities are
long behind him and he is even a force for stability in the region.

If Sauron is to be toppled, the result would be chaos as armies of
Orcs, Wargs and Trolls would wage war on each other. Even now there
have been reported clashes between Orc groups and this situation would
only deteriorate further without Sauron to maintain order. If Sauron
is gone, we would be obligated to keep that order ourselves, an
enterprise which would tie up tens of thousands of troops and deplete
our treasuries.

Even if we were to undertake such rash actions, we must also consider
the Easterling and Haradrim street which would undoubtedly be outraged
by the slaughter of tens of thousands of Orcs and might well choose to
believe that this is a war against all those who allied themselves
with Mordor. Thus a conflict with Mordor could spill over until we
find ourselves fighting numerous wars on numerous fronts. Gondor is a
great power but even Gondor cannot defeat all of Middle Earth.

It thus becomes quite clear that we cannot allow the schemes of
Wizards contending for power to pull us into a conflict which can be
avoided if we instead choose the way of peace. But where wise men like
Saruman counsel peace, Gandalf Stormcrow calls for war bringing ill
wherever he goes. It is hoped that Denethor and my lord Theoden will
listen to the voices of the vast majority of the Men of Gondor and
avoid a war that will bring untold horrors with it.
