He is known to have used His own enemies in the O.T. to punish even "the apple of His eye."

So 9/11 was a punishment from God?

It's hard to say. It is certainly a wake-up call, at least, IMO. But it's the very ones who want to capitulate to the terrorists and shed innocent blood themselves (a la Roe V Wade, terry Schiavo, etc.) that are bringing any real judgement down upon America.

That being said, there is more hope for America than for these monsters that are driven to harm us.

[Free Baptist]

It is part of His overall working to bring back a nation that once honored Him, and has now fallen to Darwinian humanism and materialism. He did allow it, didn't He. He didn't prevent it, did He? He does know all things, the end from the beginning. Nothing happens in the course of history that He has not used in the big picture in His plan. Finding God's plan, His way, and going that way is man's responsibility.
