How do we know that? And even if there wasn't anything to stop Him how would we be able to even comprehend His reasons? The BEST I can come up with is being a father. I have three kids and they sometimes fight and squabble. I choose not to intervene most of the time not because I like watching them fight or hear them whine and cry or yell at each other. I choose not to intervene because I want them to learn to deal with one another without me having to take a side each and everytime. It's a chance for them to learn to deal with conflict before they grow up and have to do it in the real world. It also leads to a more harmonious household more often than not.
Am I callus or uncaring because of that? I don't think so.
Another reason I suppose is why have free will if God is just controlling everything? Personally I wouldn't want to live in a world where everthing is controlled and my every move is measured and guided. I want to chart my own destiny and make my own choices. Even if that means that tragedies happen from time to time.
