Two reasons...

What if I don’t like any of the choices they gave ?

The first choice was not a legitimate choice. I wasn't enamored with the second choice either, but it was better than the first.

Fake poll.

The bomb was obviously dropped to achieve stability in the area.

Someone else may have done this on this thread, but I wanted to add this just in case.

This MOAB bomb was estimated to carry 21,600 lbs of TNT. LINK

That is 10.53 tons of TNT. (1 ton = 2000 pounds)

Definition of a kiloton: LINK

The Hiroshima bomb was pegged at 15 thousand tons of TNT and the Nagasaki bomb was pegged at 21 thousand tons of TNT. LINK
