One reason that Elrond did not go to war was that the time of Elves was coming to an end. It was the Age of Men. They needed to take care of their own problems.

I am probably reading more into your staement than you intended re: the war being 'men's responsibility'. but here is an incredible article by Michael Martinez [ one of my fav's I have ever read on M-E] which details just how responsible the Elves were for the whole mess of the rings.
