The most difficult question to answer is, "why does God allow _________?" Bad things happen and it is difficult or impossible, in our limited view, to accurately determine why God allowed that event and how it fits into God's plan for humanity.
A related question is why God seems to turn a blind eye toward those who perpetrate evil. In Job 24:23-24, Job tells us that while it seems as though evil men are getting away with it, they will eventually come face to face with the God we worship and seek to obey. God's "eyes are on their ways (v. 23)" and in the end, "they are gathered up like all others (v. 24)."
They don't get away with it. God sees. Perhaps this is why we should pray for our enemies. They are our enemies because they do not know the God we worship. They are also enemies of God and as such we should pray that they repent and seek God's forgiveness and become friends of God.
