People love to root for the underdog.
I agree with you earlier statment about finding fault with the actions both or neither - but not one or the other - as logically consistent.

Erik, what would "finding fault with neither" mean in practice?
When a suicide bomber blows himself up in a bus (hasn't happened for a while) some of us may seek reasons but nobody says "Hey, let them continue" until now.

Who is saying “let them continue”?
There are thousands of excellent reactions so, say, a suicide bomber blowing himself up in a bus. Finding fault with the bomber isn't one of them.
Some examples:
Finding fault with the bombing, itself as an a action.
Increase security on buses
Find out the reasons why the bomber did what he did and attempt to mitigate those circumstances
Make explosives/bombs harder to obtain/build.
See?
Sitting around and blaming the bomber gets us nowhere.
