This seems a rather pertinent point. In the world of Middle-earth, the rulers of the Free Peoples are generally portrayed, and must therefore be taken, as just rulers. Where they are not portrayed as worthy rulers (for example, Thedoen at first and Denethor towards the end), it is the result of malign influence.
