As to the scope, they are called the "wars" so I hardly think the word "incident" is fitting. As to what side or in what capacity the clones were involved was never implied.
It is not that Clone Wars were an incident... it just that some cloning incident gave the name to the war. Just because "Clone" is inside the name, it doesn't mean clones had to be combatants. It is like Banana Wars where USA most definitely did not fight against bananas.
