[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I'm not a new Silm reader, I'm reading it for the 3rd time now. I just go through phases of wondering and this is one of them.

Couldn't Luthien have foreseen that Sauron would be back if Huan let him go back to Morgoth? She was the greatest after all.

Sharku, (meaning no disrespect o mighty member number 3), like Frodo and Gollum? Sauron had done more evil deeds than Gollum had. Frodo let Gollum go because he thought that he would just go into the Mountain and toss the Ring into the fire. The slaying of Gollum was unnecessary (so he thought)

If the War would have turned for the better by the slaying of Gollum then I am confident Frodo would have done just that for the good of Middle Earth.

However, the end of Sauron would have helped dramatically in the days to come, and it would have unquestionably have been for good.
