No. He would not have, not because he lacked compassion, but because he did not lack it. According to the cosmic order Tolkien set up, Middle Earth is a wonderful place that will come to an end. The destiny of the free peoples does not end there. Tolkien's Eru would bring all wrongs to justice in the end, beyond the walls of Arda.
