that Iraq is a geographical area and not a country."

So if the United States was invaded, would the United States be a
geographical area or a country?

My best guess is the citizens rural areas would fight and the
residents in the urban areas would shrug their shoulders and go
on with business as usual as they are used to taking orders.

What a country calls its vital economic interests are not
the things which enable its citizens to live, but the things
which enable it to make war. Petrol is more likely than wheat
to be a cause of international conflict.
