	The marvelous part of this infernal enterprise is that
	every murderer's chief has his flags blessed, and
	solemnly invokes the Lord before he goes out to
	exterminate his neighbors .... Moral philosophers, burn
	all your books. As long as thousands of our brothers
	are honestly butchered at the caprice of some men, the
	part of mankind consecrated to heroism will be the
	most horrible thing in all nature.


	VOLTAIRE, PHILOSOPHICAL DICTIONARY, "WAR"
