According to wikipedia, unintended results/consequences are results that may be foreseen or unforeseen, but they should be the logical or likely results of the action. Confusing ?
Take example of the case on George Bush near miss with the shoe throwing. His actions in Iraq may have tried to bring about the result of peace from the Saddam Hussein's regime but instead it has caused severe grief and catastrophic results with the need for United nation countries to continually send troops over for law enforcement. Similarly by building the world's most advanced and unsinkable ship , the Titanic had to sink.
The theory of unintended consequences is in fact a term coined by people who happen to be able to sit back and see where this world and everything was revolving.
