Quote from the Appendices

"It was afterwards said that they came out of the Far West and were messengers sent to contest the power of Sauron, and to unite all those who had the will to resist him; but they were forbidden to match his (Sauron) power with power , or to seek to dominate Elves or Men by force and fear." --Appendices Partly true, yes. I think that they were forbidden to do so so that no one got power hungry and usurped his place. Saruman's case is a great example!! The reason that the Ring was so dangerous to Gandalf was this exact reason that he had been warned against. I think the second part "seeking to dominate Elves or Men.." Flowed from the first, matching power.
