That depends on whose definition of good and evil you are using. If God's, then He is good by definition. If someone else's definition, then, since our understanding of the knowledge and intent behind God's actions is vanishingly small, we are in no position to judge.

I take it we are just supposed to accept the killing of innocent children because God says it was the right thing to do. One question one more time: Isn't this exactly what tyrants claim?
Maybe some tyrants do claim that. Tyrants claim all sorts of things.
