Can you still be under the spell of the 'Evil One' if you don't believe in him (or her).
Seriously though, I thought your description sums up Saruman anyway. He was narrow minded (limited to lust for power and survival), and was, at the end, no more that a Mordor appratchnik.
Unlike your collection of Saruman candidates. I'd say they fit the role of the Trade Federation perfectly.

>>Cheney is SarumanThat's exactly what someone under the spell of the Evil One would say. Cheney is just an old, narrow-minded apparatchik.Saruman, the real Saruman, is the body of well-funded Salafists, militant Islamists, jhadis, al-Qaeda, etc., as presented by the Saudi propaganda machine.Was it Goethe who said, "The Devil is a perfect gentleman"? Maybe it was Clinton?------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
