Why did the Lord command Moses to "exterminate" entire cities? (Joshua 11:20) ?

It would appear that the Lord God condones EXTERMINATION of people. Joshua 11:20 RSV. Do you find this shocking? How can ANY Christian justify this? Little wonder the Middle Eastern countries hate the Jew. After all, if nothing else, the bible is the Jewish history book written by their own people. Your views please?
..Yes Joshua 11:20 actually uses the word "exterminated" in the revised standard version RSV.
The shocking condolence of so called Christians--actually endorsing these Satanic act of barbarism--today, in 2011, is a depressing thought in deed. No. --God may have the power to commit mass murder on hundreds of thousands of Cananites ..who are actually today's middle eastern people, but that does not make it right. If this is an example of "Gods love"...I think I'll pass.
