Our job isn't to win; it's to get to Mt. Doom, whatever the cost. All we can do is what we are called to do. Or maybe we're not the Ringbearer - maybe we're the Riders of Rohan at Helm's Deep, or the Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain... We don't really know until the end, so we have to try our best along the way.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Now I better understand the betrayal of the forces of righteousness in Middle Earth when they discovered the treachery of Saruman the White.
