"If you ask me, the Valar are very self-centered...er...High and Mighty Beings of Power. By the time they finally drag themselves over to Middle-Earth (and ruin and reshape most of it in the process), the whole continent (or whatever you want to call it) is practically ready to self-destruct."

The Valar weren't placed in Middle-earth as policemen or parents. If Middle-earth didn't have the power to save itself, what would be the point in saving it? So it could fall to another bad purpose? It was a test of Middle-earth...Was it worth existing? If it could not save itself, surely not. The Valar had nothing to prove, and as this was all Eru's creation, it would undoubtedly work out the way he planned.
