But was he more upset over losing Lyanna, or Ned losing his father and brother? All too often an official cause of war is a mere front for a different cause of war.

For example, the Crusades were marketed as Holy Wars to reclaim Jerusalem in the name of God, but in truth, they were waged for gaining access to Jerusalem's wealth.

The current wars in the Middle-East are marketed as "The War on Terror". Nonsense, their really being waged to steal the Middle-East's oil supply.
