I think the nuke the world option is the best one..... it is as you said, the only option for freedom. Living as cattle, is not a life-we could survive in a nuclear wasteland, just a very small population.Comment

I'm skeptical that the nukes would kill all of the aliens (or people). I believe the show on TV mentioned that the goal was to make the Earth too dirty for the aliens to live on. The aliens were actively hunting down the hidden few who controlled the nukes.

I think in any attack the first thing any alien power would do is dissable all our nukes..... they are the biggest threat and if they did any intelligence retrieval they'd know we are ####ing crazy and would use em.... heck the overall attitude on this thread seems to be to nuke the planet ourselves..... think the aliens are watching this thread? Think they've seen independance day when fox put it on network T.V. and the scene where they suggested nuking the planet?
OMG THE ORIGINAL POSTER IS AN ALIEN DOING A CONSUMER STUDY!!!!Comment

Lancer this was not only a plot in independance day but ALSO the outer limits(old AND "new") as well as the twilight zone....... I can think of a dozen different books with the same theme(my favorite one being "The Alien Years"-forgot author).
This is not a new idea, it is at least 50 years old.Comment

"The Alien Years"-Thanks Ill check it out.
