I'll say that. When "one's will" is the pursuit of basic human rights and every
other avenue of approach has been reasonably exploited to no avail. It's not
like they just want extra chocolates or something.

The right to worship is a basic human right. The right to systematically harm
others, whatever the motivation is not. I don't consider the origin of a goal
relevant in the least. Only the goal itself matters.

I sure as hell hope that two wrongs make a right. It's wrong to seize a nation
and exploit them economically for the gain of corporate interests that pull the
strings of the marionette running the show in the agressor nation. It's wrong
for dictators to torture their citizenry. I'm still hopeful that a right will
come out of it.
You expect others to tolerate treatment that we would never-in-a-million-years
stand for.
You can bet your ass that if the US were invaded I'd be shooting the civilian
occupiers every chance I got. Terror is a powerful tool and underdogs would be
stupid not to employ it.
