I can't imagine any EU country producing insurgency/terrorism if occupied (by some other european country) like we see in Iraq. Protests, refusal to cooperate and strikes would be the most probable reaction. There is also an option of destroying country's army, infrastructure and leaving immediately.
Conventional war still means a lot, countries with the most capable armies are the most respected ones. Nobody respects Iraq just because it has zillion terrorists.
