People often point out that God is vindicative in the OT. The reason is because the nations whom were to be wiped out were already so evil that there was no hope of redemption. It would be much the same IF (and I say IF) the Muslim world suddenly had a collective realization that they collectively must bring down the Capitalist system of the West by any means necessary. If we as a nation saw that we could not control or predict where the suicide bombers were coming from, we as a nation may conclude that we would have no choice but to eliminate all people of that system. Is this right? Well, as evolutionists like to point out, 'Survival of the Fittest'. I am not suggesting that this belief is a reality...I am just saying 'what if?'
