In this case, and contrary to my previous voting pattern, I would prefer to go straight for the organ grinder rather than bothering with his various monkeys.

There is one "person" with whom the ravaging buck ultimately stops, and that is Morgoth. We may try to take away his means of ravaging, but he will undoubtedly come up with alternative, possibly more deadly, means. If, however, we strike for the central command centre and succeed, all of his agents of ravagement will be thrown into disarray.

No doubt, in time, a new dark lord will emerge. Quite possibly another of the Valar will be tempted to evil and take command of Morgoth's forces. But that will take time, and buying the Men and Elves sufficient time to organise their resistance is vital here.

So no messing about from me. My vote goes straight to the heart of the enemy:

++ MORGOTH

Quite so. The last thing that they need is two renegade Valar on their case. Taking out Morgoth substantially reduces the chances of that happening.
