Thank you all, you guys/girls are so hip to this! (I am not worthy)
Karlamac,
Gandolf knew that Suoron had risen again by the time he set up the dwarves/Bilbo. He also knew that a rouge/or evil controlled dragon would be a big thorn in the sidde of the people of free will so to speak.
Thus, I am still amazed that he entrusted this dangerous task, with potentialy horrific repercusions if the dragon was not killed. (can you imagine the LotR tale withna dragon!)
Again, thank you all, I am humbled by your knowledge.
