Good point, Nuranar. The trouble is that we can never know what Gondor might have been capable of doing if Denethor hadn't been spending most of his time looking at the Palantir and thinking about how he was doomed. Who knows, it might have turned out exactly the same in the end...except, who would have killed the Witch-King if Eowyn had never had the chance to go to the Pelennor Fields? Unless Ioreth decided to put on a mail-shirt and take a stab at it... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img].
