To break it apart and make weaker. Under false pretenses. Nothing new actually, now it is a series of countries that have undergone the same treatment. Militarism in its beauty. I don't see how the citizens of US and other allies do not see military intervention, as if they truly believe it is all liberation. No, I bet most of them just try not to think about it. As long as they are comfortable. That's why they love their churches so much, to make themselves feel better after lots of sins that make their consciousness uneasy.
