Gwaihir the Windlord has just left Hobbiton.

Sauron was very treacherous, Maeglin.

There is heroism all over LotR. The entire point of it, though, is the Ring -- the super-weapon of Middle-Earth. Whichever side used it would wipe out the other. This is what happened. Would they have been cowardly if they'd armed Gandalf with it, and crushed Sauron that way? The West simply chose a different way of using the Ring.

The place of the Ring is sort of similar to that of a nuclear bomb, eh.

Nice topic, by the way.
