EVER WONDER WHY ELROND JUST DIDN'T PUSH ISUILDOR (spelling?) INTO THE FIRES OF MOUNT DOOM IN THE FIRST PLACE WHEN HE COULD AND SAVE US THE TROUBLE OF THE SECOND WAR!!??
Because murder is Sauron's way, and not the Western way.

I think a more likely question is, Why didn't he wrestle it from him? Probably because stealing is also Sauron's way. As Gandalf later told Frodo, wresting it by force from Isildur would have broken Isildur's mind and driven him to madness (like Gollum.)
