Torah perspective

A leader declaring that another nation will cease to exist carries an awesome weight. The Torah teaches that human life, even of enemies, is created in the divine image. Our sages tell us that the very first question asked of a soul in the next world is whether one conducted business faithfully. A leader's words are a form of currency, and threats of annihilation are the heaviest coin. King David refrained from striking down Saul even when he had the chance, because he understood that power does not grant license. The fate of nations is ultimately in God's hands, and those who wield power must remember they are accountable to a higher judge than history.
