If a bombing is what it takes, then a bombing it is. I don't care much what method would be used - of course I prefer the one with least dead civilians - but certainly what they actually did was not enough, and in result a whole country has been condemned to poverty and a mindset/life outlook so twisted, people outside hardly understand it[1]. Repairing the damage will take at least 30 more years, if not more; that's several entire generations of people merely surviving, not living.
I am not German, btw. I am Czech and I don't think Babis and Zeman are CIA operatives, but their relationship with StB/KGB is well documented.
[1] if you can find a translation of the movie Kouř, definitely watch it. It's an absurdist movie that is, at the same time, painfully realistic.
