But on second-reading, I think maybe your question about "mount[ing] a vigorous counter-attack" is not merely intending to ask me if I think defenders should try to push back the invaders, but rather should pro-actively invade the attacker's own country (e.g. the US into Afghanistan after 9/11 kind of thing... although that's not a good example because the terrorists weren't an invading army). I would say that almost certainly they should not do so... the bar for invading another country is an order or magnitude or more higher than the bar for simply defending themselves against the attack which is problematic enough as it is.
