1. I was not saying that good couldn't factor in its leaders, it was you who originally brought Sauron up as a weakness.

2. Preserving magic, not using it. The ring had little to do with the flood.

3. It was stated that he was the wisest of the Maiar. He probably did know the situation in Lothlorein, he was a Maia.

4. Dol Guldur was stated to be a tiny portion of Sauron's strength. Why would it be "easier that way," if like you said, all they had to do was unite with Gondor and they could conquer Mordor by force. You can not use anything after the One Ring being destroyed as an argument, as the source of evil's power was gone.
