Why did the widows choose to influence the people of Limhi this way? That's dumb. Mosiah 21:11

Why did the widows choose to influence the people of Limhi this way? That's dumb. Mosiah 21:11

There's this two verse reference to what was probably a lot more significant than two verses in the lives of the people who experienced it:

10 Now there were a great many widows in the land, and they did cry mightily from day to day, for a great fear of the Lamanites had come upon them.
11 And it came to pass that their continual cries did stir up the remainder of the people of Limhi to anger against the Lamanites; and they went again to battle, but they were driven back again, suffering much loss.
I had never noticed this before. It's pretty sad that the widows would choose to cause more bloodshed. It is also incomprehensibly stupid.
Answer:
"People make bad choices when they're mad or scared or stressed." 
You need to bring your emotions along on the drive, but don't let them get behind the wheel or choose the destination.
