Orna:
I do think their social structure and easy ways of sliding towards 
irrational killing and war, was perhaps JKR to telling us something 
about what she thinks about human-nation wars. 
And there was a sentence worth remembering not only for 
giants "giants like Karkus – overload `em with information an' 
they'll kill yeh jus' to simplify things."  

BUT here come the really good news:
The whole tale seems to be a not very entertaining way of telling us 
we don't have to hear (and fear) anymore about giants, since they 
have a nature of killing themselves all the time. So by the time 
book 7 gets published, we can be quite sure that none of the giants 
are left – except – Mme Maxime, Hagrid and Grawp – and with them we 
can live happily ever after
