Please save it for someone who still cares. I am deeply concerned about my own kids and what could happen to yours is a close second. But the fate of the children of those who, given half a chance, would slit the throats of my kids (and yours) is rapidly becoming a non-issue. Hard choices, like those we made in the 40's over fire bombing cities filled with civilians (including cute little German and Japanese kids), lie ahead.
Then perhaps you'd be interested in doing things in a way that doesn't inspire people to become terrorists in order to kill both our kids.

As a side note: When asked about his role in the Tokyo firebombing, Curtis LeMay said, "I suppose if I had lost the war, I would have been tried as a war criminal. Fortunately, we were on the winning side." (See, e.g., here.)
More to the point, as Solson noted above, terrorists are not tied to cities. Flattening cities therefore doesn't stop them. All it does is inspire others to become terrorists in order to seek revenge.
