A.D.
The very nature of the concentric rings of power, and their attendant insularity and isolation, almost guaranteed that neither JRS then, nor Marilyn most recent, had any clue of the degree of devastation reeked in so many lives on their watch, either directly or indirectly. It's a byproduct of feeling too important to even be bothered to know. The little people have always been expendable.
The ‘repentance issue’ is another interesting dynamic. Thinking one is doing the ‘will of God’ allows great latitude in justifying many actions on one side of the equation, while the other side is forced to live with the ramifications. Collateral damage was just part of ‘bringing forth the Kingdom’. He who was not with us, was obviously against us.
