Ravenna, i think you have hit it closest.
Roquena, the reason I think Eru does not step in a 'fix' things is bound up w/ His purpose in creating Ea. During the Ainulindale, when Melkor injected discord, Eru's method/solution of 'fixing' it was to let the entire history unfold. HE appapently wants his Children to Grow and learn to think and love by experience not His control. So we see very little direct intervention by Eru. It is one of the moments that makes the Akallabeth so powerful.
