The fact is, we might be attacked. But the attacker will be faced with several problems. First, even after the conquoring is successful, the conqueorer will be faced with guerrilla warfare. This can be seen currently in Iraq. America has won the war, that is, America has toppled the government. The trouble comes from the guerrillas that take shots at "our boys" from windows. America is having a mighty difficult time in Iraq. The same happened in Vietnam and Korea. Americans did this during the Revolutiuion.
The second problem is that there is no existing state to topple. In order to conquer "America" the attacker would have to have armies stationed all over the "US." Further, when the conquerer has conquered "America", giving orders to the conquered people will be diffucilt because there is no existing state to serve as a conduit between the conquered and the conquerer.
