What if it happened in the US?

Imagine if some anti-government group, Weather Underground, SLA, the Tea Parties, or whatever group you personally dislike, actually obtained sufficient weapons and organization to attack the government. Imagine them actually overwhelming police forces and taking over a few cities, possibly with the support of the locals. What if the federal government fought back and tried to retake those cities and in response to that, a coalition including Venezuela, Russia, Cuba, and Iran began bombing our air defense systems, killing Americans, and weakening our ability to deal with internal AND external threats? Would you feel those countries had started a war with the US? Would you be happy that those countries were attacking us to help some anti-government militia or domestic terrorist organization? Even better, how would you feel if they started saying they were thinking about ARMING that group with better weapons to help them fight the federal government? I'm just trying to bring some perspective to the illegal war we're in right now and how things may look to the Libyans, particularly those that are not part of the rebellion. I'm also curious about how people would have felt if foreign nations attacked the north during the Civil war. Wouldn't that have been interesting?
