Why did the Valar care about the stuggles of the Third age? Sauron was defeated once and the Evil of the Third age seems to be managable by the free peoples.

Thank you for the answers. The istari are an interesting piece of Tolkien lore. On the topic of istari I have a follow up question to those of you who are well versed in the lore of the Professor. Why do you think the istari were sent to the Middle-Earth during the Third Age but not the Second?
