TM,
As for Tolkien's depiction of the alliance between Rohan and Gondor lasting, they were like people in a way which the people of Khand and Harad were not like them. Besides, it was a plot device.
As I said before, history is on my side in this. Even the countries of Europe can't go more than half a century without changing sides. On top of that, Sauron is immortal and has, literally, all the time on the (Middle) Earth to subvert allies.
