The world in which Eric goes into the store and does not buy the iguana is unfeasible because Eric freely chooses to buy the iguana. God cannot create a world in which Eric freely chooses not to buy the iguana, because the whole point of free will is that it's up to Eric, not God, whether or not he buys the iguana.

"The Germans believe that power must reveal itself in hardness and cruelty and then submit themselves gladly and with admiration[...]. They do not believe readily that there is power in meekness and calm."
