Pat Robertson the exception?

Then please the following:

The genocide of Rwanda : "an international court is trying several Catholic priests for their alleged role in the massacres, in which Hutus murdered 800,000 minority Tutsis and moderate Hutus" (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4615171)

"The 1994 Rwandan genocide, killing an estimated 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus, is made even more incomprehensible by the documented participation of many representatives of Rwandan church societies. How could God fearing nuns, and even a bishop, take part in the most cruel crimes against humanity committed on African soil? Even worse, several church societies allegedly were co-responsible for the growing hatred that led to the genocide" (http://www.afrol.com/Countries/Rwanda/backgr_cross_genocide.htm)

And how about this from Benton Harper Church of Christ
"God does not view violence and killing as always being an evil thing. In fact, if God can punish people without sin, then he can ask his people to do so, also without sin."
