If your country was successfully attacked

Unfortunately, my real answer is not present: I would leave the country, and fight the invaders just with words, and not violence.

Lacking that, I have chosen the nearest thing, i.e. "complain to the U.N."

Suppose it all depends who the invaders were.

Become a freedom fighter(terrorist)?
Won't you get into deep trouble back home for making staements like that?
Freedom fighters = terrorists?
Isn't fighting for freedom what the US army set out to do in the Iraq? You don't need an Ma in Applied Logic to work out what you are saying here.
Any men in a big black car outside your house yet?
They will be soon!

  First, I will complain with the UN. Then I'll use my allies to help me repell the army.

Originally posted by Gubukjanggoon Originally posted by Genghis I'd definitely flee to the Blue Ridge Mountains to the West of Washington D.C. and become the leader of a partisan guerrilla band, killing enemy soldiers and domestic traitors. I'd probably be in the Sierra Nevadas doing the same...

Viva L'Resistance!

Some American wrote in another thread that the Americans have no concept of Satire!

No, I didn't vote in this poll because the premise is too unclear.
As Paul said, it all depends who is invading what.
My country ( no, I'm not from Ethiopia) was invaded successfully about 60 years ago, and a good thing it was too. Like most of my fellow country men I probably would have stood on the streets welcoming the invaders in the hope they would throw down some chewing gum or cigarettes from their tanks.
So unless you specify your question, I can't answer.
I certainly would not defend my country in all cases and at all costs.
But I'm glad you gave an outlet to all this "Militia in the mountains of Montana" fantasies, Hollywood has a lot to answer for.
Let's face, you all haven't got a clue, what you would do in an exceptional situation like that.
What circumstances in WW2 made some French collaborators, some passive onlookers and some resistance fighters?
So until the Canadians cross the border, you won't know and all this "I will become a Militia man" is just empty posturing.
Go back and play "Freedom Fighters" on your PC's, that's far more realistic.

I think there is a great difference btw being a freedom fighter and being a terrorist...

Wrong choice, Pal
He was military defeated in less than 2 weeks.
Salinas de Gortari administration did not proceed to fully anihilate the EZLN because the international repercutions.
Plus, he has no any moral leverage after stating in public his support to ETA.
