In response to a couple of previous posts about violence in Iraq, people have asked me how I would react if an army of foreign invaders occupied my country, started arresting people seemingly at random, and did a lot of indiscriminate shooting that killed civilians. Wouldn't I want to attack such people, or at least sympathize with those who did

The problem with this scenario is that you continue to warp the facts on the ground

I know I don't know you guys but...

The situation is brought up this way through the invasion or to the "threat" to the superpower. However the first person had a more accuarate perseption of the people of Iraq, I have visited in the Indonesia area and in prodominatly islamic communities there is one thing that I really thought upon as odd. They didn't really know how to think for themselves. Couldn't break through to their own ideas. Now going back to the first example of what situations your catch yourself in, Your nation is destroyed and you are left loyal to your nation, the superpower leaves you in more a slump than you were in before, the soliders worry more about what they are supposed to do than the people. It breaks upon into a complete overthrow of a communism that would have collapsed on its' own anyway. As many have pointed out the suicide bombings are simular to what America did in the Revolutionary War, whatever we could, hit in the bushed, greased up bridges, sacrificing your life to get to others. It is much like trying to start a revolution. "
