Eagles? I don't sweat no stinkin' eagles.

Hey, if we think about the book as an analogy and stuff... do you think the Eagles represent the Americans?

Yeah! Americans are God's chosen instruments of vengeance and rescue! And we provide transportation to Elfs, Dwarves, and Hobbits in need all the time...

No, I don't think that the Eagles represent anything except eagles, any more than I think Dwarves represent anything but Dwarves, or that Isengard means anything. Tolkien's not the symbolism type at all, I'd say. But it's an interesting idea...
