Re: also

Saruman's close study of Sauron played a large part in his turn to evil. Was it Elrond who said
<blockquote>Quote:<hr> "It is perilous to study too deeply the arts of the Enemy"<hr></blockquote>?

Saruman spent most of his time learning about Sauron and various dark things. That plus the jealousy he already felt torward Gandalf caused him to desire power. And power for its own sake is always a trait of evil in ME.

Those who will defend authority against rebellion must not themselves rebel. </p>
