You're blaming alt-Clark for not saving Lois before he knew she existed? Yeah, I'd say that's a bit harsh.
I was originally just trying to explain why he was so over protective of this Lois. I think I got carried away though.
I am pretty sure that at some level he does blame himslef for his Lois' death.
