God will judge these men someday for what they have done. Like I said before man's actions and God's plans often conflict, man often tries to out think the omniscient God they worship and this often leads to things being done in God's name that was never God's intention and in the end God gets blamed for the short comings of man. To sum this up, God's plans are His and are of a spiritual purpose and God will carry His plans through for His purpose reguardless of what man does. Very few men ever see God's plans coming about, most only see His plan after it has come to fruition. Man's greatest fault is hind site, God's never has to use such, He is omnipresent and can see the future and knows the good of His plans, ie. He can see the results before they happen. To answer your question on why God would not wash His hands of such a mess, His plans do not depend on man's actions, man's actions have never and will never dictate God's will for doing good.
What I do not understand is why you think his plans do not depend on man's actions, yet you claim he was instrumental in the founding of the U.S. constitution, which was brought about by man's actions. If god truly had a plan for a country being built, he would be relying on the people who were building it. If he was not relying on the will of the people constructing the country, then the people involved would have lost their free will. This brings about the question as to why god would intervene for the creating of a constitution, but not in the slaughtering of millions. It seems, however, that since you have assumed that god is good, you are automatically assuming all acts of good are god's will, and evil acts are humanity's will.
The point that I'm trying to get across is that god either has some responsibility for the evil, or nothing to do with the good.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
