Yeah, but if Gandalf had gone to Minas Tirith with Boromir and Merry, he wouldn't have brought Eomer to Helm's Deep, and then Rohan would have been overrun and not come to the aid of Minas Tirith, and then Minas Tirith would have been overrun.
I'm curious as to why Gandalf would choose Pippin to go with Frodo and Sam and not Merry, seeing as how Merry is seen as the more sensible of the two. I would think that Gandalf would have sent Merry into Mordor and brought Pippin with him.
