Sauron? Courage?
Ar-Pharazon

Sauron has courage? You must be kidding. Actions of courage: hid in the bowls of Angband when Utumno was overthrown by the Valar - way to stick by your leader, fled as fast as he could from Huan, snivelled at the feet of Eonwe at the Great Battle - way to stick to your leader part II, snivelled at the feet of Ar-Pharazon (a man no less) without even a fight, got his but kicked by a man and an elf, never left his tower during the War of the Ring. Yeah courage. I'm sure Annatar has a nice excuse for all of these. Something like, "it was all in the plan, and all those guys were just lucky, especially Gandlaf, blah, blah, blah."
