I thought I had given the wrong impression to a degree. In the reality of his works the whole issue of Sauron's victory and retrieval of the One Ring would have been gravely disastrous indeed and would have spelled slavery, torment, oppression, terror and murder for all of the free peoples you are right in saying. However I was just fascinated by the fact there was a path of escape at least and for some Elves, all was not at the end although that defies what they stood for as they would have adored Middle Earth and would have been reluctant to depart leaving it with oppression from the Dark Lord's instruction.
Also, I wasn't seeking an argument but wanted to circulate my ideas and thoughts.
