Hmm...after looking through those threads that Legalos gave, I think that Saruman's Ring was used to extend his power to be more like Aulë's. Aulë created the Dwarves, and now Saruman created (or at least modified Orcs to create) the Uruk-hai.

Also, since Sauron and Saruman were both Maiar of Aulë, doesn't it stand to reason that the Dwarves should be easily corruptable to the side of evil? I know that they were the least likely to be turned to wraiths by the Rings (other than the Elves)...doesn't this strike anyone as strange?
