Well we didn't see him standing over the little ones in a DARK CAPE WITH YELLOW EYES ready to MURDER THEM.
I know you're being a bit facetious but that is one of the images from RotS that haunts me. The little boy's trusting face as he asks "what are we going to do" and then his flinch as Anakin ignites his lightsaber...
*shudders*
Was he wrong? Yes. But if what he saw was something that immediately sparked mass murder, it's easy to see why he had that moment of weakness.
Yes. Some anvils need to be dropped, as TV Tropes puts it. I understand why they couldn't include a visual (the movie was already long enough) but I wish there'd been a bit more emphasis on Ben killing anyone who wouldn't go with him.

Maybe it will be picked up in the next movie.
