Here's a thought that just recently struck me: What if it was really Morgoth's will? (Bear with me.) Sauron was the servant of Morgoth, "being only less evil in that he served another, and not himself." Later, we learn that Morgoth still has power in the world, even after being thrown into the void, and it spreads throughout Middle Earth. From this comes all the evil deeds done later in history. (Leading Men astray, etc.)

Is it concievable that Morgoth influenced the creation of the Ring to regain some control in ME, albeit indirectly? Was Morgoth the reall master all along?

NOTE: This is just a random train of thought, my own personal musing over the less obvious possibilities, if you will.
