If anyone besides God could be blamed with wiping out 60k+ people in such a cruel manner, 1/3 of them children, we'd think them insane and would be sending cruise missles. That's not counting the untold suffering yet to come. We were given free will and intelligence specifically so we could question such insanity... simply chalking a disaster of this magnitude up to a "Greater Purpose" would mean disregarding that. Either God had nothing to do with this in the first place or God had nothing to do with stopping it... either way, we lose. All we can say for sure is that God loves misery and company. Beyond tragic.
