I do believe in God, but I do not believe that he interferes directly in the actions of man. I am not one of these people who believes that all things are predestined. I think we have free will. This is not to say that God will not provide guidance if you pray to him, only that he is not going to force anything upon you.
The problem with rational explanations is that you have asked a question which has no simple rational explanation. You will get 2 types of answers.
Faith based: Those who believe in god will answer based on their beliefs.
Non Faith Based: God does not exist.
Neither of these types of answers can be justified or rationalized by all. Such is the case where religion is concerned.

This is the same as a question a couple of days back -- To find out why God allows suffering, we need to think back to the time when suffering began. When Satan led Adam and Eve into disobeying Jehovah, an important question was raised. Satan did not call into question Jehovah’s power. Even Satan knows that there is no limit to Jehovah’s power. Rather, Satan questioned Jehovah’s right to rule. By calling God a liar who withholds good from his subjects, Satan charged that Jehovah is a bad ruler. (Genesis 3:2-5) Satan implied that mankind would be better off without God’s rulership. This was an attack on Jehovah’s sovereignty, his right to rule. Adam and Eve rebelled against Jehovah. In effect, they said: “We do not need Jehovah as our Ruler. We can decide for ourselves what is right and what is wrong.” How could Jehovah settle that issue? How could he teach all intelligent creatures that the rebels were wrong and that his way truly is best? Someone might say that God should simply have destroyed the rebels and made a fresh start. But Jehovah had stated his purpose to fill the earth with the offspring of Adam and Eve, and he wanted them to live in an earthly paradise. (Genesis 1:28) Jehovah always fulfills his purposes. (Isaiah 55:10, 11) Besides that, getting rid of the rebels in Eden would not have answered the question that had been raised regarding Jehovah’s right to rule. Let us consider an illustration. Imagine that a teacher is telling his students how to solve a difficult problem. A clever but rebellious student claims that the teacher’s way of solving the problem is wrong. Implying that the teacher is not capable, this rebel insists that he knows a much better way to solve the problem. Some students think that he is right, and they also become rebellious. What should the teacher do? If he throws the rebels out of the class, what will be the effect on the other students? Will they not believe that their fellow student and those who joined him are right? All the other students in the class might lose respect for the teacher, thinking that he is afraid of being proved wrong. But suppose that the teacher allows the rebel to show the class how he would solve the problem. Jehovah has done something similar to what the teacher does. Remember that the rebels in Eden were not the only ones involved. Millions of angels were watching. (Job 38:7; Daniel 7:10) How Jehovah handled the rebellion would greatly affect all those angels and eventually all intelligent creation. So, what has Jehovah done? He has allowed Satan to show how he would rule mankind. God has also allowed humans to govern themselves under Satan’s guidance. The teacher in our illustration knows that the rebel and the students on his side are wrong. But he also knows that allowing them the opportunity to try to prove their point will benefit the whole class. When the rebels fail, all honest students will see that the teacher is the only one qualified to lead the class. They will understand why the teacher thereafter removes any rebels from the class. Similarly, Jehovah knows that all honesthearted humans and angels will benefit from seeing that Satan and his fellow rebels have failed and that humans cannot govern themselves. Like Jeremiah of old, they will learn this vital truth: “I well know, O Jehovah, that to earthling man his way does not belong. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step.”—Jeremiah 10:23.

The fighting going on was told to us. God said it was going to happen ... and SO many many other things. He can't change that . Man, brought this on and it all boils down to religion. Right where everything in history stems from. He tells you this too. In the Bible. Most suffering in the world is a result of other people's sins. Example: War -human selfishness,pride and greed.
We live in a fallen world where all creation has been affected by the sin of human beings.(Gen.3:18)It is the result of Adam and Eve's sin that "thorns and thistles" entered the world.Ever since that time"the creation was subjected to frustration"(Rom. 8:20)

This guy goes to church twice a day, on the way to work and on the way home. He prays to win the lottery. "Please God, let me win the lottery, the wife needs an operation, the bills are hard to pay, the kids need clothes. Please let me win the lottery."
Every day, twice a day, he prays to win the lottery. Finally, a bright light appears over the altar, and a voice comes out ot the light and says, "George! Give me a break....buy a ticket!"
God helps those who help themselves.

It's not God making war, it's PEOPLE making war. God gives every single person on earth freedom of choice. If they choose to fight, God lets them so they can live and learn from their own mistakes. That's genuine love!

What makes you think God wants to stop it? Could it be that the Final Conflict is actually underway?

Everything that happens in life you will find the answer to in the Bible, all you have to do is look for it. I don't care what the problem is it's all their in the Bible, even the things that we would do to each other, and the things that we are not supposed to do!

Which God are you talking about and which war are you talking about?
In Israel and Iran both sides believe in different gods.

Har har har....
God has nothing to do with anything. I saw God tending to zebras in Zululand. Doesn't want to be bothered with humans.

Right where he has always been. If you don't believe in him then why do you ask this question. If you knew him, you would know the answer. Take care.
