I actually felt that Tony could have leveraged this fact to his advantage in his final conversation with Sosa and maybe lived. Sure, Sosa would not have any moral issue with killing children but if Tony said "Hey, how do you think the press will react when two kids are blown up in New York, because their father was speaking to the media about Alexander Sosa? You'd be the Wolds most wanted man! The international community would put you at the top of the most wanted list and you'd be finished. I tried to point this out to him but he lacked the judgement to think of the massive amount of press and police/military heat on you, so I prevented him from doing that. You're welcome!"
Maybe Sosa might have had a moment of clarity and realized that as bad as the heat was with the bomb being found, the whole world would come crashing down on him when the pictures of those two kids ended up on the news for days. As angry as he might have felt he might have realized that Tony in fact saved his behind.
Any thoughts? Sosa seemed like a shrewed man, and could see the political blowback to kids being killed in front of the UN.
