Originally posted by Elamef37i take your point, but i guess the wider question i was hinting at is why, if there is a just and caring God, the good often suffer and the evil and contemptible often prosper?

He's asking why god would allow something to happen. I pointed out to him that God doesn't approve of you doing something just because you are "doing it for your country". Maybe if you were sacrificing yourself for God he would care and would have stopped it. But just because you love the good ol' US of A it doesn't mean he's going to come up with some divine intervention to save your ass so you can go kill sand people.
I thought that was obvious.
