Re: Gandalf and Sauron

In my opinion, I don't think Gandalf could have beaten Sauron. Sauron was the number 2 to Morgoth, the most powerful of the Valar and the Maia. Morgoth had thousands of servants, orcs, dragons, fell beasts and balrogs (also Maia). We don't know what Gandalf's status was among the rest of the Maia.&lt;p&gt;
The next thing we have to consider, is that even if Gandalf waltzed up to Mordor, with everyone, all the wizards, all the elves from Rivendell, Lorien, all the Ents in Fangorn, Gondor, Rohan and any ally they could muster, I still think that the hosts of Mordor could defeat them if the Ring of Power were not destroyed.&lt;p&gt;
And even if Gandalf could do that, I don't think he would. The job of the Istari was too help, not do everthing. It was supposed to be there struggle. I also agree with the idea of the effect it would have on ME.
