[Tar-Meneldur: ]To prepare for war, which is yet only guessed: train craftsmen and tillers in the midst of peace for bloodspilling and battle: put iron in the hands of greedy captains who will love only conquest, and count the slain as their glory?

We seem to be getting a lot from UT.

That's it. I'd like to have done more of the quote but it's rather long.
