Oh well said Glofin! a lot of awful things might have been avoided if the Manwe and the rest had just let the elves go when they wanted to. I read somewhere in LT that Manwe knew that the elves, being children of the world, wold have to return sometime, he should have let them be.

As for Phantom, you have many good points. The elves got closer on several occasions to busting Morgoth than the Valar did. The Valar finally helped after Earendil begged them to help. Had the Valar perhaps aided the elves in tracking down Morgoth in the beginning, they could have snatched him before hid fortress became impenetrable perhaps. I like your idea of catching Morgoth, phantom, very ingenious.
