Galpsi, I did not want to say your example was bad, it is just that I think Neville Chamberlain did nothing wrong from his point of view, whereas Galadriel would have done much more evil had she acted his way; trying to appease Sauron would undoubtedly have failed, trying to appease Hitler was a possibility - mind the offer the English embassador in Berlin received on Aug. 25th 1939:
&quot;Germany obliges itself to defend the British Empire with its Wehrmacht whereever it may be threatened.&quot; Demands were that England would help G. to retrieve Danzig and the corridor, possible colonies, and assure fair treatment of the German minorities in Poland.
I do not think Sauron would have made such an official offer.
And Guernica was not a war-crime but a horrible accident.
Anyway, I find these historical topics far to delicate to treat them more thoroughful here.
