Galpsi, I did not want to say your example was bad, it is just that I think Neville Chamberlain did nothing wrong from his point of view, whereas Galadriel would have done much more evil had she acted his way; trying to appease Sauron would undoubtedly have failed, trying to appease Hitler was a possibility - mind the offer the English embassador in Berlin received on Aug. 25th 1939:
"Germany obliges itself to defend the British Empire with its Wehrmacht whereever it may be threatened." Demands were that England would help G. to retrieve Danzig and the corridor, possible colonies, and assure fair treatment of the German minorities in Poland.
I do not think Sauron would have made such an official offer.
And Guernica was not a war-crime but a horrible accident.
Anyway, I find these historical topics far to delicate to treat them more thoroughful here.
