Sucks for Peter. I was never much of a Lord of the Rings fan though. J.R.R Tolkein seemed kind of liberal in his views on race to me.

"J.R.R. Tolkien was a devout Catholic and conservative, and a close friend of C.S. Lewis (a great Christian writer) at Oxford. His vision of a mighty battle between good and evil in the realms of Middle Earth was brilliantly transferred to the screen, perfectly fitting a post 9/11 world where the forces of freedom found themselves pitted against a barbaric enemy." see link
