I'm not actually saying Sauron was Ok, he, well, bent the stick over a bit. But Saruman, if one takes closer look, is quite a chap. He wanted order and knowledge, or, strictly speaking, he was just so progressive. The goal was alright, and who cares about losses by the way? After all, trees may grow again, and if not, so what? And all this tricky elves shielding their unprogressiveness with falsehood like preservation. Preservation of what? Nothing solid beside it, just thin air. Just to think they banished Ted Sandyman. Obviously Tolkien is escapist of the worst kind imaginable.
