It's easy to pass judgement on other people/countries when you are living in the most powerful country in the world.

I'll agree with you on Isreal occupying Palestine since it was founded. I've oftened wondered who decided on doing this and why it was where Isreal is today. However, this was over sixty years ago, and Isreal is not going to magically transport itself to another part of the globe.
If this was happening to my country, no, I would not support terrorist actions. I'm former military myself, and targeting innocent people who are riding on a bus just doesn't make sense to me.
As for the recent actions in Pakistan, there is huge difference between between an handful of accidental deaths of people that may or may not be guilty compared to walking onto a bus full of innocent people and just randomly blowing up a bomb. We had intel that said terrorists were going to be there; It's not the fault of the US that terrorists hide amoung the cilvilian population.
Oh, and just in case you were wondering, yes, this is in fact an act of war. Keep in mind these are the same terrorists that have a hobby of dive bombing rather large aircraft into tall buildings.
