Note, on your quote on destroying Minas Morgul, it was a sugggestion of Imrahil and others that they should 'take' Minas Morgul, which would have been by and large been emptied out in the Battle of Pellenor fields (Minas Morgul seems to be slightly 'independent' from Mordor. Some of the Orks from their are reffered to as the 'morgul rats' and Sam also notices that whilst the Ork's of Cirith Ungol have the red eye painted on them the ones from Minas Morgul had a crescent moon, or soemthing to do with a Moon, I cant remember)and hence they would march into Mordor from that way rather then attempting to assail the unassailble Black gate, [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] but of course Gandalf would have wanted to keep Saurons eye away from Frodo and Sam. But we later hear that the Vanguard broke the bridge of Minas Morgul, so evidently the vanguard must have consisted of stout-hearted men since they didn't go crazy with fear, and so maybe some stouthearted men could have re-built it, but I doubt it, since it was too evil by then, maybe, and also I think that Gandalf's ring may have helped them keep courage.
