Is God Mad at US?

According to Ray Nagin the Mayor of New Orleans He is!

"Surely God is mad at America. He sent us hurricane after hurricane after hurricane, and it's destroyed and put stress on this country," Nagin, who is black, said as he and other city leaders marked Martin Luther King Day.

"Surely he doesn't approve of us being in Iraq under false pretenses. But surely he is upset at black America also. We're not taking care of ourselves."

So he is saying that God the enforcer is killing innocent people (mostly poor and black) because we are in Iraq? Shouldn't God be punishing the so-called wicked by hitting the Red States with a rain of frogs or fire or something? When is Bush going to come down with a case of boils?

What did the Tsunami victims and the Pakistanis earthquake victims do? I guess God is mad at them for some prior unknown transgressions or possible invasions in their past.

Maybe God hated the so-called wicked and sinful nature of New Orleans and decided to put the deluge down on it. Kind of like Sodom and Gemorrah but with water instead of fire. Or perhaps Nagin isn't the kind of man that can understand the mind of God and try not to sound so much like Pat Robertson or Hal Lindsey:

But I believe there is another essential point being missed. Since America has forsaken the Christian principles on which our country was founded and on which all our founding documents were based, God's gracious protection that is so evident in American history is being withdrawn. We are also forcing God's people, Israel, into indefensible positions in the land God swore on oath to give them forever.

I believe unless there is a major national repentance, America is in for worse catastrophes than can possibly be imagined. God help us.
