Hypothetical here

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

Let's say another, bigger country, like Russia (pretend they are militarily superior to the US for the sake of this argument) said to the US "Heeeeey, your leader is a total jerk and fuckwad! We think you were behind the hostage taking and killing a few months back! It was horrible! You have weapons of mass destruction! (note: of course that would be true in our case) We're gonna come in there and take your leader out because we think you are a HUGE threat to peace in the world and to US!"

And then they came over, but instead of just taking out bush and getting rid of our WMDs, they continued to fight us, killing average American citizens, and bombing cities and shit. And the whole time, they are telling us they are making us free, but we aren't even safe enough to walk down the street and our kids' schools are all gone and we only have electricity a few hours a day and running clean water is a pretty iffy deal most of the time.

Meanwhile some Americans decide to start fighting back.

How would you feel? Regular American citizens, in this scenario, have lost about 150,000 to the bombs and bullets of the Russians who are "liberating" us.

Would you fight to defend your family? Would you try to flee? How would you feel about the soldiers who are, after all, only trying to free us and let us have democratic elections (wow how richly ironic, eh?)?
