I would like to bring another factor into the fray here, after i've sat back and watched for a while...
That being the upbringing of those who 'choose' to become evil. Let us take orcs as an example...
Reared for a soul purpose, they are dealed with with an 'iron hand'... beaten into submission from conception, indeed concieved for the purpose of hate, death and suffering... their lives mean nothing to those above them, around them and below them... they hate themselves, their comrades and their lot. They become spiteful, hateful beings almost immediately. What then can this person do. One orc who refuses to fight is beaten, then if it continues, is killed. Die fighting, or just die in pain!
It's a vicous cycle... they cannot escape, they cannot live for themselves, and they cannot refuse. This cycle, so cunningly percieved by Morgoth, has enthralled the race completely - there is no hope for the orcs i fear.
