Does anyone of you know the movie by Stanley Kubrick, "Dr. Strangelove or how i learned to stop worrying and love the bomb?"
If not, it's a movie about the cold war, and eventually the whole world is destroyed by Nuclear-bombs.
Could there be a connection with Saruman?
I mean, he would definitely worry about the ring, and later on he stops worrying and, well not loves, but wants to have it himself.
And if he would have managed to get it, Middle-earth would more or less be destroyed in the end. (example: the Shire, after "Sharkey" has ruled it.)
Any thoughts about that?
