Sorry, I tried to cram too much information into too few words :). I meant
to say that if God had prevented the attack, we wouldn't have appreciated
its sheer horrific magnitude, since we wouldn't have lived through it. If
God had substantially intervened, the accusation that He was being too
controlling might indeed have arisen. We would be blaming God unfairly,
because we would not have known what He was protecting us from.

Well, I pray you'll reconsider, but I'll respect your wishes and not debate
you further.
