Didn't they ever bother reading a summary of the Silmarillion? The war wasn't pre-emptive, not be the longest shot imaginable. The Last Alliance was only formed after decades of desperate, losing battles, thousands slain or enslaved...
And never mind that *all* the Rings except for the 3 elven ones were in Sauron's posession already.
Of course, then again, since when do Leftists care about historical accuracy?
Chomsky: Here comes the Balrog. Notice Gandalf's unilateral action. "Quick, get away, I have to fight this thing alone!"
Zinn: Once again you see a creature that's on fire being demonized in this movie: the flaming eye, the flaming Balrog. As though being on fire is this terrible affliction to have.
Chomsky: As though they can help it if they're on fire. --------
