Tolkien's Ace in the Hole

Written by Joe Katzman

In response to my cross-posting of Armed Liberal's excellent "Iraq'd" article (our "Best Of..." category now has a new entry), someone in The Command Post left this in his signature. When you read it, do you think of this too?

"There Morgoth stood at last at bay, and yet unvaliant. He fled into the deepest of his mines and sued for peace and pardon; but his feet were hewn from under him, and he was hurled upon his face.... and the evil realm was brought to naught, and out of the deep prisons a multitude of slaves came forth beyond all hope into the light of day, and they looked upon a world that was changed."

— J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion
