Gordon King reports in my comments to this post that the local bishop where he lives in New Zealand is in come confusion:
Our local Bishop Penny Jamieson wrote a commentary piece the other day where she said that she wasn't sure who would be Sauron, Bush or Saddam.I think I can clear up her confusion:
Hope this helps.

Haven't come up with any other explanation.
Posted by: denise at February 6, 2003 at 05:44 PMAndrea, I think I posted something like this before about this monument to Saddam reminding me of the eye of Sauron, but I cannot find it now. Of course, I didn't have the wonderful graphic.
Posted by: Charles Austin at February 6, 2003 at 05:57 PMAbsolutely smashing graphic. Sounds to me like the good Bish slept through the classes on moral reasoning in divinity school. Or do they not have those any more?

Maybe Viggo isn't clear on which character in the movie is Saruman. It's not like he played Saruman or anything.
