Must admit, I'm really not into this 'We deserve Death for being sinners' thing either. If that's the case, then we are putting our fate entirely in the hands of the unknown, after all, if it is God who chooses day by day whether we live or die, then what right do we have to make that decision for him? However, if God is influencing our decision to cull the 'evil', then he must also have influenced Saddam Hussein to gas the Kurds.
If some kind of 'anti-God' influenced Saddam Hussein, then it means that we can never be sure who influences anyone to kill anyone else, so the whole system collapses in anarchy.
