That's a good question, Muse and I think you've probably hit upon some truth. I find it very likely that Saruman really did think that if he possessed the Ring that he could throw down Sauron and order ME properly and to his designs. He 'seems' to believe that that scenario would turn out to be the best for everyone as evidenced in his arguements with Gandalf @ Orthanc. (Isn't that how most politicians get in trouble - thinking they know what's good for you and you don't? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )
