Hmm good thought. I think that theanswer is a matter of fate. Gandalf tells Frodo that in the history of the ring there is more than one power at work. Behind the scenes Illuvatar had already been workiing for good. It seems that in every bad event in LOTR that good came from it. If Gandalf had not fallen he would not have become the White, and if the fellowship had not been broken then it may have been more difficult to get into Mordor. If Gandalf had gone to Mordor then the events of the War of the Ring migt have gone much worse.
