Mark,

I am aware of those things you mention regarding the ordered killings.
I don't question God's purpose in those things for the same reasons that Steve mentioned. I see Him as having better understanding of what would transpire if that had not been done.
An analogy for you;
Hostage taking.
Bad guy is killing hostages, one every five minutes, his demands are a rocket ship to the planet Zorbo in one hour delivered to his doorstep and he will keep killing until it is delivered.
A police sniper is ordered to terminate him. Should he follow the order or is it unrighteous and wrong of his boss to order it even considering what the consequences will be if he doesn't?

John
