"As the hobbits are going up Mount Doom, the Eye of Mordor is being drawn somewhere else. It's being drawn to Iraq and it's not being drawn to the U.S. You know what? I want to keep it on Iraq. I don't want the Eye to come back here to the United States."
-- Sen. Rick Santorum

I'm tired of reading politicians' statements where my first thought is.. "wow, somebody's finally coming out and saying something that mirrors the way the rest of the world feels about us" .. only to read it again and see that it's still the same ole tired "us (good) vs. them (evil)" nonsense.
