Oohh! Very interesting thoughts about Sauron, Ninja! I think in LOTR (can't remember which book) it refers to the fact that the reason the Dunedain guarded the Shire is to keep it from Sauron's interest. It was mentioned how much Sauron would delight in enslaving a people such as Hobbits, if he ever regained possession of the Ring.
