The weakness of man

[Arwen Imladris]

I certainly hope you don't mean to imply that the elves, dwarves and hobbits were weak

No, I did not mean that. There are and were so many dangers in ME, to survive the had to have some strenghth. They did not win the war of the ring by themselves, but remember what Gandalf said in the movie? "In men we must place our hope". When everyone else had pretty much backed off, men stayed with it. Yes the elves kind of had to leave, and they had also quite done there part already. Elves are really more powerful then men, they are imortal for one thing, but just because of that doesn't mean that men are weak.
