There is almost nothing in Tolkien as pervasive as his love for the small and vulnerable, for the meek and the gentle. These are not the values of these thugs and they do not have any claim to them.

The act that brings down Númenor is a punishment for Empire, for the audacity to believe you can seize dominion over others, for in fact having taken that even further than any living human had ever done before. It is not a heavy handed punishment from a disappointed father-god but a denazification.
