It seems a bit stupid.
If we terrorize them we will create more terrorists.
You can't bomb people into submission unless you get them all.
If you bomb people and some survive they will be much angrier and more motivated to hurt you, than they were before the bombing.
This will probably be intensified if the bombees feel they were target for no very good reason. Whimsical bombings so we can feel we "retaliated" don't seem a very good idea to me. But great minds will differ on this point, no doubt.
