Riddle me this Batman- so you're fighting a war against a particular Evil-Doer. And in this war, it's pretty apparent that the end of the war will either come with the confirmed death or capture of that particular Evil-Doer. Now, knowing this, if you get a really, really hot tip that this particular Evil-Doer is hanging out somewhere along with his Evil-Doer sons, does it make any sense to bomb the place with such force that you'll never know if you actually killed the Evil-Doer?

Wouldn't it make more sense to say, oh, send in Special-Ops to capture the guy live and in person instead of blowing up not only the place where the Evil-Doer is at, but three surrounding blocks?
