Hypothetical situation-
An imperialistic country invades the U.S. claiming they believe our president has access to weapons of mass destruction and will use them against their country. They also claim that they will liberate us from the evil tyrant. While they are here, they just so happen to take over our primary natural resource and have their companies come in to manage that resource. During their four year occupation, they continue to kill U.S. citizens who oppose their occupation. They claim that the puppet government they set up is legitimate, and any U.S. citizens who are against that government are labeled as terrorists and insurgents.
Personally, your father was detained and humilitated by this invading army, your mother has been a nervous wreck for years, your dog has been missing since one of the days of bombing and gunfire in your neighborhood. Your grandmother suffered a heart attack and died after her city was bombed. You don't know the whereabouts of your best friend. You and your family have very little to eat. Your freedom of movement is restricted and you need permission to travel.
What would you do?
How should the world see you? If you fight the invading army, should you be seen as a terrorist/insurgent? Should you believe that the invading army is there for your best interest and you should hold no grudge against them despite their abuses.
How would you expect the children who grow up in this situation to view the invading country? Do you think they might have a legitimate reason to hate their occupiers, and to organize and attack that country when they are old enough? What has the invading country created in the experiences of the kids who were subjected to this war?
