Birdland has just left Hobbiton.

Made the Ainur...Made Themes...Made the Universe. Did it all at once. "It is," and It was...Didn't bother about Morgoth destroying the Lamps...Didn't do anything about Orcs, his greatest grief...Didn't do anything about Morgoth destroying the Trees...Didn't aid the overthrow of Morgoth.
Burrahobbit - Doesn't your list suggest a deity who wasn't in to "sweating the small stuff". The Valar may get their knickers in a twist over Trees, Simarils, Orcs, etc., but Eru, who knew all the themes of his Music, not just some, let them be. Why? Because he knows how it's all going to come out. And being sad about certain occurances, (like Morgoth shaping Orcs), does not elimiate the necessity of them being part of of an all-encompassing "plan".

Excuse me, but he did aid in the overthrow of Sauron. Tolkien suggest this again and again. How? By choosing Frodo the Unlikely, silly Burrahobbit. And for Frodo to be there...oh, never mind!
