This has probably been brought up many times before but hey I'm bored...

What IF, Sauron had captured the One Ring and used it to crush the forces of good and make Middle-earth his. Would the Valar, like they did in the Silmarillion against Melkor, come to Middle-earth and do battle with Sauron? It caused catastrophic changes in the Middle-earth landscape the first time and I could see it as maybe the last resort. Or are they too removed and/or too uninterested at this point in the history. They sent the Istari to help but left them bound not to use their full powers against Sauron.
