Well, this is quite an interesting discussion...
I hope I'm not getting off-topic with what I'd like to ask... Everyone has discussed who could have taken the Ring and used it against Sauron, but what I was wondering - who would have? It's been said that only Gandalf could have defeated Sauron utterly. But he wouldn't have done so, would he? I was under the impression (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong) that Gandalf refused to match Sauron in battle because the Valar had command the Istari not to do this. We all know that Saruman certainly didn't pay attention to this in the end, but wasn't Gandalf completely loyal to the Valar? If so, would Sauron have known this? Again, sorry if this is off-topic, it's just something I was wondering about. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
