Besides everything posted above (and with most of it I agree wholeheartedly) the Valar seem to behave quite knightly, observing the ballance of strength. When Morgoth was alive and kicking, the Valar went to battle themselves. As Sauron was 'only' a Maia and really unable to fight in person (being disembodied and shapeless), so the Valar's emissars weren't allowed to use force, but only to teach, advise and inspire - the same means used by Sauron actually. And his armies could be well dealt with by Elves and Men.
