We have seen lots of civil wars in the Middle East. Can you imagine yourself as a normal citizen of one of these countries. What would drive you to fight, if anything?

In this day and age it's probably not good to put your answer in writing on the interweb.

america is a free country, with peaceful remedies to its political climate.
If it comes to violence then its citizens have failed to use the peaceful remedies afforded them.

I wouldn't unless it was to save my family, or it was the only way I could provide necessities for them.
Other than that I'd do my best to avoid the areas of conflict and get the things needed to survive.
I'm not a hero, and I don't care what happens to anyone but my family. I can't do them much good dead even if it were for a noble cause.

They'd have to restrict a lot of our rights, make life in general miserable to live (high taxes, daily curfew, no entertainment to distract us), and most importantly, take away our guns (good luck with that in the US).
An unarmed population is a lot easier to control than one with ready access to guns.

Not true - an uneducated population is easy to control.
Everyone has guns in the mideast and they still have no rights.

for once i agree with the dumbass.
at least one of the original amendments is designed, exactly, to prevent some of what our DHS is currently doing with the TSA.
it was enough to drive our forefathers to arms and revolt...
