The fact that you seems serious about cruise missiles being fired randomly into cities is mind boggling. Not only would such action serve no purpose, it's also the completely wrong weapon platform to use. They are precision strike weapons, not bombs.

Hmm, so there are still some people who buy the "surgical strike" spin.
Also, nowadays most bombs are precision strike weapons as well. The thing is "precision strike weapons" still have a record of "collateral damage", which has been shown to translate into the deaths of civilians, men, women, eldrely and children by the hundred.

Notice that Predator drones and their hundreds of civilian casualties are also "precision strike weapons".
