Certainly as a normal course of events, but if Frodo had failed [well if Gollum had failed [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ] and Sauron's armies had decimated the West's, the valar would have had to intervene sooner or later, I think that was a prime reason G. was sent back as powerful and as impervious to weapons, etc, etc.
OF course there could be something in Letters I have forgotten that completely contradicts this.
But regardless it has strayed well of the topic which I think was agreed upon [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] .
