Normally just 1 and 2.

3 and 4 depend on the situation.

3: What kind of an attack was it, what is the "retaliation" supposed to be and is it even verified that it was a state-sponsored attack? The invasion of Iraq was sold as a "retaliation for a state-sponsored terrorist attack" and I certainly was against that sort of thing. If North Korea smuggled a nuke into New York... okay, fine.

4: If it is a Khmer Rouge-level kind of oppression which makes it more akin to #1 ("autogenocide") then sure, yes. But normally I'd be against it. Too many oppressive regimes around for that, anyway.
