A Christian lifestyle and belief is based around the fact that there are only TWO perfect beings in the world, Jesus Christ and God himself. Now these two schmucks think God would punish America because it was so unclean and unsavoury?! What sense does that make?! If God knows that man is can not humanly be perfect why would he punish those who aren't?! The invulnerability thing I can almost understand, at least from this side of the world's perspective, the US has always seemed to proclaim itself as THE country, the man of the world, as it would be. Such an ego can lead to distress, at least according to Christian Law. BUT, the difference is, this notion of invulnerability opens them up to only one enemy, Satan and his minions. They are the doers of evil, not God. Check your bibles, the few times God has wiped out people was in the old testament when Jesus was nowhere around to save us from our sins, and even then it was for a good cause, nearly the whole world was corrupt, so he flooded the world and let his true followers live and prosper. In Egypt, Moses was granted God's power to free the Jewish slaves form Phoaroh's rule, not just to show of his divine muscles. This was an act of terrorism, a tool of evil. There was no upside to this tragedy, no Afghanistan people being let free from America, and I don't see any sign of a flood, do you?

That whole thing is stupid, this guy needs to get his fact staight before he goes about giving out bad news about our almighty creator. He sounds to me to be a typical "Fire and Brimstone" preacher who, instead of helping a fellow man out of a pit, says "You deserve your pit!".
