There's plenty of biblical precedent of God using wicked foreign nations to punish national sins. He used the Assyrians, the Babylonians, the Ninevites, and other nations to punish and warn a sinful and apostate Israel. Jesus in the new testament also spoke of a certain tower of Siloam which fell on 18 people and warned the crowd that the same fate awaited them if they did not repent. Jesus spoke many more times about judgement and damnation then most realize. However whether this horrible incident is a warning from God or not, I can't say. But it sure wouldn't hurt if America cleaned up it's act somewhat. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, but sin is a reproach to any people. God calls the nations a "drop in the bucket" and "nothing, and less then nothing," and are his to do with as He pleases. Might be a good idea for all of us take heed of that.
