What is idolatrous about the concept that God ordains the nations that rise and fall? You are starting not to make any sense again. What do you think, that somehow God lost control and the USA jumped out from under his influence and did their own thing in Iraq? Is the USA somehow now the Great Satan that is disrupting God's plans? Did we do something that surprised God and took him off guard? Did God really want Saddam to continue to be in power? Did God want evil to flourish and people to suffer in Iraq and the surrounding region? Did God want Iraq to invade more countries besides Iran and Kuwait and cause more destruction and suffering to the people in those regions? Did God want more Kurds to be slaughtered? Sorry for so many questions, but as you can see, I do not understand your image of a God who is not in control. If God removed Iraq (Babylon) once before when they oppressed the Israelites, why do you think he would not do the same thing again in these last days? Are you forgetting Iraq's attack on Israel itself during the Gulf war? Peace be with you.
