You sure nailed this one. I've used "The Law Of Unintended Consequences" to describe the same thing. Good intentions that turn out horribly wrong. One of my favorite quotes.

Morton Kondracke, Roll Call magazine, 1994:

"Liberals obviously didn't intend for the abandonment of traditional values to lead to an aids epidemic, rampant teen-age pregnancy, the destruction of two-parent families, an explosion of child abuse and child poverty, increasing coarseness in popular culture and horrific street violence. But it has."

What a great quote; says it all in two sentences.
