There is the supernatural view, it involves how His Heavenly kingdom interacts on this Earth in order to save mankind from death.What other reason would He have to tell them to utterly destroy women and children?I'LL WAIT!!!
It would be similar to the reason Noah's flood occurred but on a much smaller scale. In His omniscience He foresaw that unless these populations weren't executed then we wouldn't have Judaism or Christianity as we know it today.
It's hard to imagine this world as being any worse as it is now, but no. Things could be a lot worse. Look at one particular culture whose historical civilizations have been furthest from geographical location of the middle east. Where things like if you've been convicted of a crime, not only do you go to prison but you're also put on a live organ donor list. Could you imagine all major powers agreeing on this?
