The collateral damage was a bonus, and I imagine they picked a time when higher ups were on an inspection tour or some such. Cut off the head of a snake and it dies. Cut off the head of a Hydra and Butch Cassidy steps in.
Yet again, the point is a power play. I highly doubt we needed to deploy the biggest non nuclear bomb in combat history to carry out this attack, especially when we have cheaper bombs designed to crumble tunnels and underground infrastructures.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll
