Honestly, it would depend on which Circle for reasons that had been stated above. In general, I'm not a person that would be happy being a mage, and if I was a mage, I'd either be a Tranquil at one of the Circles, a bound and leashed Qunari saarebas, a slightly happy mage in a Tevinter Circle, or an [elven or human] apostate who turned to blood magic out of both spite and necessity (and probably ended up getting angry over something and turned into a Rage Abomination; I have anger issues). If I was a non-mage human, I'd probably actually be a templar in the Chantry.
If I was Tranquil, well, I wouldn't think. You know how it is; I'd pretty much see the world with clarity, without emotions, and I'd do whatever my superiors told me to do, whether they were templars or mages. Even in Ferelden's Circle, I don't see myself as being an Apprentice or a Harrowed Mage; I'd hate my magic too much, and it would drive me to anger every day. As it is, I hate what I am, and there I would hate what I was too. I'd actually opt to do my Harrowing; at least then, I'd die rather than becoming a Tranquil.
If a saarebas, belief in the Qun would have sustained me, and the Qun would be the only belief I'd been taught, so my situation and my thinking would be very different from the above. I would of course be bound and leashed and I would want it no other way, fearing I'd be corrupt as I'd think the unbound bas'saarebas are. I doubt that I would hear about all of the disorder, but if I did, my opinion would be simply that this was inevitable in the human-dominated world, but that it would probably make my people converting them to the Qun that much easier. Going back to the original question, I would think Anders to be a fool and a murderer. But such is the way of the kabethari (those who have not come to know the wisdom of the Qun). Their disorder is their weakness and perhaps they will be seeking order when the Qunari finally come to bring the Qun to the unenlightened lands.
As an apostate, I'd use the opportunity to keep my identity a secret. That wouldn't stop me from hating Anders and thinking that the murder of all those priests -- and those are women for the most part who do not know how to fight -- was unnecessary and uncalled for. Sure, I would have probably killed templars in my time, but they were after me and they were capable of putting up a fight, defending themselves. Even as an apostate, I would do my best not to let innocents be harmed. I would not want to get caught up in the middle of their war, so I'd probably end up making it to Tevinter -- where I'd plan to go, were I an Apostate -- relatively unharmed.
As a Tevinter in one of its Circles, I'd be somewhat amused by the whole situation. I'd hope that the Magisters would take advantage of this, and hope that they would sign a peace treaty with the Qunari, giving them Seheron and all the people that have converted to the Qun. Without the war with the Qunari to distract Tevinter, they'd be able to take advantage of this chaos and conquer the rest of Thedas, possibly bringing the world under the power of the Magisters again...though the Qunari would probably make a move in that time, and all of this warring would be bloody indeed. I've often wondered if something similar to this would happen in DA3...though I'm pretty much rambling here. xD
Finally, as a templar, I'd probably have been a rather decent person, towards mages. Upon hearing what Anders did, however, I'd see mages as a dangerous thing that must be put down, and would hope my superiors felt the same. It's pretty much the same way my first Hawke felt when Anders blew up the Chantry. Julian had been somewhat friendly with Anders, and after what happened to his mother, he merely tolerated him. He welcomed the idea of separating him from Justice, but refused Anders once he learned that this potion he'd been concocting wasn't about freeing Anders from Justice, and that he'd been betrayed. He wouldn't have agreed to do it whether Anders had told him what he was up to or not, and if Anders had told him he planned to blow up the Chantry, one way or another, Julian would have killed him then and there, so I'd say he was pretty smart in being cryptic. When he did blow up the Chantry, Julian turned ice-cold towards mages, especially hearing Sebastian's response. Julian knew what it was like to lose someone very close to him -- having lost his brother, his sister, and his mother, the latter to magic -- and it struck a chord in him. Julian himself wouldn't have killed Anders; he'd have told Sebastian to do it, to avenge Elthina, and Sebastian would have put an arrow through his skull. Julian aided Meredith in the Rite of Annulment, annihilating every mage and demon he and his group of Aveline, Fenris, and Sebastian came across.
(walloftext, lol, I went off on a tangent.)
