Yeah its clear that they didnt want to interfere, they almost forsook middle earth, but then why would they send the istari to sort it out? I suppose they could have sent them to help the people of middle earth fight back, thus making sure that sauron was defeated, but through the efforts of the people, with the istari just giving them "a little nudge out of the door", as gandalf would say.
