Again, only certain groups. Others are just pissed that an invading army is on their soil. If the roles were reversed, I know I would be, regardless of the good that came of it...

Any use or threat of force aimed at intimidating a government or society is terrorism. Ambushes are clearly a use of force, but it's certainly not restricted to terrorists. I don't believe these people believe they can defeat our army in this fashion, so logically their aim must be to intimidate us until we leave.
I think that would depend on the circumstances. If a President is in power that changes the American way of life, takes away all of our rights, puts hundreds of thousands to death, takes all of our money, and bullies us, then I would have been pissed a long time ago, and would welcome foreign troops to help us out.
