Nothing that happens is outside of God's sovereign control. He allows evil things to happen. If He wanted to stop [insert tragedy here] from happening, He would because He can.

You cannot take a breath outside of God's will; the same goes for Hitler, Saddam, Pol Pot, OBL, etc. He knows precisely what you're going to do this evening, tomorrow, next month, next year, and every remaining second of your life. He knew everything you and the others I mentioned would ever think or say or do before He ever created them.

There's a big difference between willing something to happen and merely allowing it. I already know that it's up to mortal man to prevent Mrs. Schiavo from dying. It just seemed earlier like you were implying that as preventing her from dying is against government policy, it is also against God's will. Now I don't know what you're saying.
