2. It's useful to governments and war hawks drumming up war support only to present one side

How else can you pretend you're sending a bunch of young people in to die with a clear conscience?

So much is lost in our mainstream narrative, such as the fact that it's illegal to fund and arm rebels to go destabilize a country so you can replace its ruler with someone more to your liking.

How would people have felt if a foreign government had stepped in to arm all the racists or/and the rightwingers who can't stand Obama? Or all the people who hated Bush a few years ago? This isn't even a civil war. Hans Blix was interviewed on RT yesterday and explained for dummies that this is a proxy war being led by Saudi Arabia.
