So if I get "intel" that there is a terrorist on american soil, bomb him and 200 civilians die, that would be ok from your point of view?

I was talking about Pakistan and not the terrorists, if you did the same thing in China or Russia you would have a nuclear war on your hands.

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.

Most countries that have waged war the last 100 years have committed acts of terrorism, including the US. I don't understand the difference in Israeli forces killing civilians as opposed to Hamas or any other Palestinian organisation doing it. It's the only way they have to fight back, do you expect them to just bend over and take it up their ass?
