What gave rise to this country is a violent, armed revolt against the previous rulers.

You don't need a government to protect your property. Not to mention Governments can't both claim to protect property and actively extort you for that property at the same time. No one consents to being taxed. Taxes are taken whether you agree or not.

Government provides rule of law. If you live in the U.S. and you believe this is true then it's probably a waste of time trying to convince you otherwise.

...if you live in Syria... you mean the place the U.S. has been actively encouraging war for the past few years... So fortunate we in our "first world country" can export death and destruction to the "third worlds" and then wonder why their society is in such chaos.
