Youtube has provided me with hours of video footage from Syria. I have seen people literally tortured to death on camera. I have seen men step on land mines and have their legs blown off and the aftermath of transporting him to the helicopter to air lift him out. I've seen rebels take bullets to the head and then slowly die right there on camera.

Seeing things like that on the internet changes the way you see the world.
