Eh, I don't think thats a good reasoning/defence for Haruhi's actions.

Spoiler:

To give an example, a terrorist in Iraq just wanted to blow himself up and kill the people in the US ambassy. But just so happens that some innocent people (by-passers) get too near and die as well. The terrorist didn't mean it (to kill innocent bystanders who weren't targeted), but that doesn't mean that he is not to blame for the deaths of those innocents, correct?

And we all know that Haruhi is usually dead serious with what she says. So, while she may not mean to treat Mikuru badly, but she is still serious about treating Mikuru as a toy (which in essence, is the same thing): afterall, we're talking about a girl who has no time for normal people. It isn't beyond believable boundaries to say that she thinks of Mikuru as nothing more as a tool for whatever she wants (episode 2 should be evident enough).
