" . . . ves allí, amigo Sancho Panza, donde se descubren treinta o pocos más desaforados gigantes, con quien pienso hacer batalla y quitarles a todos las vidas, con cuyos despojos comenzaremos a enriquecer, que esta es buena guerra, y es gran servicio de Dios quitar tan mala simiente de sobre la faz de la tierra.
"¿Qué gigantes? —dijo Sancho Panza."+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The iconic pro-war argument with the definitive argument against (Quixote, Chapter VIII):
"... Look over there, Sancho Panza, my friend, where one sees thirty or a few more monstrous giants; with whom I think I will do battle and take the lives of them all, and with their spoils we shall begin to enrich ourselves, since this is righteous warfare, and a great service to God to sweep so evil a breed from the face of the earth.
"What giants? - asked Sancho Panza."
