Re: Sauron's Stupidity

OK, it is pretty understood that Sauron was more powerful than gandalf, Because Gandalf said that the White was great, black was greater still, this was after Gandalf had defeated Sauraman and After Sauron also had his ring lost, also you say Sauron is stupid, but in fact he can not be, no one can run a war if they are stupid, and i dont think the men of the east or the southrons
would follow a stupid leader. Also dont confuse stupidity with ignorance, you can be the smartest person in the world, and still do something that the dumbest person would think stupid. Sauron was evil and his brilliance was in his tactics of taking over the world, thus he thought they would fight him back with the most powerfull weapon they had, which was the ring, if you were threatened by someone and you had thier shotgun would you through the shotgun away? this was his train of thought, all though i dont doubt gandalf was the wiser one, just there can be no way sauron could have been stupid
