We ask what harm can come if God intervenes in the most horrific of cases ...as we feel evil can't have that much of a privileged reign.  But, what happened when God did intervene ...well, precisely what God intended, though not always from our perspective.  And that's where trouble comes in. Often because of our lack of understanding, partly facilitated by our drifting away from God's standards and guidelines, we allow our minds to question God's dealings with people.
