How would you feel if USA was invaded?

Question

If a united arab coalition suddenly invaded texas (about the size of Iraq) and tried to create a muslim government, would you as americans just accept it? would you think that was right or justified?

Im sure if that happened US ppl would strap on bombs too and go on suicide attacks. No one likes to see their country invaded for no reason...so why do you do it every 3 years???

Answer 1

First of all, a "united arab coalition" is pretty much an oxymoron. Second, the militaries of the arab countries are too weak to invade us from halfway around the world. Third, the US is not trying to create a Christian government in Iraq, so your comparison is bogus. Fourth, most Iraqis were glad the US toppled Saddam's criminal regime. Fifth, the American people would never use the tactic of suicide bombings because we actually value human life. Sixth, the US (and its dozens of allies) did not invade Iraq "for no reason."

Now that I've pointed out the errors and faulty assumptions in your loaded question, there really isn't anything left to answer, now is there? ;-)

Answer 2

1. They can't invade Israel and win so it's pointless, but what the heck let's explore this.
2. If they combine their Naval Forces they will have "0" Air Power, and a fleet that the Rhode Island National Guard could take out with 1 Attack Helicopter Company.
3. "Texas" Where the sign outside the bar reminds you to leave your gun in the car.
4. See # 3
5. In 1942 inexperienced Army and Naval Forces expelled a REAL military force from the Aleutian Islands. Some of those 85 year old vets are still armed and in Texas.
6. The US has 13 active Carrier Groups. The Arab coalition would have "0". Refer to #2
7. The first storm they hit in the Atlantic would likely stop them from ever getting as far as Florida.
8. Suicide bombings began in the middle east long before the US ever set foot there.
9. Most suicide bombers kill civilians, in Iraq it is a Muslim on Muslim crime.
10. Since the investment portfolios of your leaders are here it is unlikely they will want to harm their checking accounts.

I accept that I could be wrong.

Answer 3

You missed one thing.Bin Ladin declared war on the U.S. in 1996.Are you saying we have no right to defend ourselves when airplanes are flown into our buildings because we are not an Islamic state.So I ask you who's trying to oppress who.Infact what did we do to the Middle East to deserve this,we discovered oil over there,we put the oil wells there and we are buying not taking oil from there,and the proof of that is obvious considering that everyone was living in tents before showed up there.Almost every house in the Middle East was built from U.S. dollars and this is how we get treated for it.Also if you want to compare civilian casualties lets look at 9/11.That day thousands were killed for doing nothing more than putting in a honest days hard work,and might I add,the killing was 100% intentional.Lets go ahead and have some of your family killed for nothing and have someone tell you that nothing should be done and because of your country's foreign policy you should be denied justice and your families killer should be allowed to kill more innocent people for his cause.

Answer 4

I'd be scared and angry, but, since I'm not a religious fanatic, I would not go around slaughtering innocent bystanders, nor would I become a suicide bomber. Suicide is a cowardly way to deal with things. If I'd previously been tortured by the likes of Saddam Hussein, if my family and friends, had been slaughtered and tortured, and my religion persecuted, I'd welcome someone getting rid of a government like that.

Would I like someone invading my country and imposing a muslim government on me? Of course not. Are you suggesting that the US is imposing a bigoted, woman hating, fundementalist religious government on a country it has invaded? If so, please tell me which religion that would be? As far as I know, the US government is secular, though US laws do have a foundation in Christian beliefs.

Answer 5

How would you feel if some foreigners came into your country and took down two of the biggest structures or towers, tried to kill your president, and struck a blow to the Dept. of Defense, using your countries planes that were stolen.

As Americans, we retaliate. Whether the world likes it or not.
The Europeans like the look of Muslims attacking the U.S. rather than themselves. They are in the crossfire like it or not.

Saddam was a menace, he was a menace to his people, and the region, (ask Kuwait) as were his sons.

Not too many humans are brainwashed enough to strap bombs on to commit homicide, that is a Muslim specialty.

Where are you from?

Answer 6

The problem with your argument is that the United States was a victim of terrorism before it decided to go into Afghanistan and Iraq. So, the terrorism isn't a result of the US invading and trying to set up a government. The reasons are much more complex than that and pre-date the Iraq War by decades.

Most people shouldn't attempt analogies. They almost always miserably fail. It takes a sharp mind to create solid analogy.

Answer 7

The entire US government has been taken over after the assassinations of JFK, RFK and MLK.
Osama bin-Laden was trained by the CIA in the late 1990s to fight the Russians.
The coup was further exposed during the 2000 presidential election voter fraud by the Bush family.
The Bush family and their friends, bin-Laden among them pulled off 9/11.
The illegal invasion of Iraq. Saddam was an enemy of Al-Quedia.
The CIA closed the unit that they had set up to catch bin-Laden. They don't really want to catch him.
The second voter fraud in 2004.
The continued pressing to take away the citizens rights and lies to the public of America.
The merging of the Executive Branch and Judicial Branches and his support for the Attorney General Gonzales lies and disrespect for the third and final Branch of the Government.

Everything that is being done is to manipulate the media and the voters. Elections for president are every 4 years.

Answer 8

If anybody invaded Texas the govt wouldn't even know until the war was over, The armed population of Texas would stop it right quick in hurry, furthermore if the 9/11 planes had flown out of Dallas the "good ol' boys" woulda shut them down quick too.
Bad example, In the US we have the right to keep and bear arms and we will defend ourselves "Our Military is trying to give the Iraqi People the chance at freedom that we enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 9

I feel that is why we are fighting in iraq now to keep the peace
and show that we are a strong nation under God! Our strong
and brave sholdiers are keeping them at bay do they don't try to invade US soil. No I would not just stand and take it. Our country was founded so people would and could be free. And I feel that is a legacy that Americans stand for!

Answer 10

Strange, I don't recall Texas being run by a dictator that killed his own people, attack neighboring countries, and continued to make poison gas weapons. But a dictator in Iraq did. It also seems strange that Iraq has remainded a Muslin country, and that no attempt has been made to change the religion. Of course, you analogy was flawed from the start - so its not news to you.
The US military seems to attempt to fight along the lines provided by the Geneva convention, which prohibits using children as weapons, TERRORIST use children as weapons.
