Presuming it's ok to quote an author dead for several hundred years:

"Further than this, how extraordinarily the ways of God have been manifested beyond example... ...God is not willing to do everything and thus take away our free will and that share of glory, which belongs to us."

-Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince: Chapter XXVI--An exhortation to liberate Italy from the Barbarians.

God requires of people with power first that they do justly. Loving mercy is secondary, and does not mean "always giving" mercy.

"Christians" who say "we just have to pray about it" are either entirely powerless, or craven and unchristian. You don't need to pray when you already know something is wrong, God's already spoken and you've already heard it... now go rectify it.
