				 Re: Eliminating a scorched earther=poor sportsmans 
 If he's damaged himself enough that he can't come back to be even a minor threat, then he won't be any trouble to finish off. And at least you get the magic sites.And he's too weak to be any help as a client state.
 
 If he's that weak, someone else will finish him anyway and you'll have less of a buffer against them.
