You could compare it to the use of nukes (Hiroshima as a good example) where you scare the enemy in to defeat rather than defeating him on the battlefield.
The problem is that it will not only kill a lot of innocent people, it will also create a deeper conflict between the side of a conflict and reconciliation after peace will be even more difficult.
