[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

If I understand aright, the idea is that the Ents believed war to be generally wrong, but that the War of the Ring was worth fighting?

If that is the case then it makes the Ents look pretty dim (not something I disagree with, movie-wise). They apparently do not understand the gravity of the War of the Ring until.....what exactly? Treebeard sees some dead trees?

I don't get it, I don't get it...
