It helps if you can turn them into zombies afterwards.  Saminga likes
zombies.

Also, some of his advisers are aware that sometimes quality gives more
essence than quantity.

'Chainy, Heaven has a big tether in Paris.'
'Yes, Mr Prince.'
'Paris, that's in France which is in Yurp?'
'Yes, Mr Prince.'
'All the other Princes think I'm stupid but I'll show them.  I'm going to
drop a nukuler bomb on Paris!   That'll show them cheese-eating surrender
monkeys!  Mwahahahaha!'
'Up to a point, Mr Prince'.
'Up to what point?  Are you implying I'm stoopid or something?'
'No, Mr Prince.  I'm not implying you're stupid.  I just know that you're
testing me.'
'I am?'
'Yes, Mr Prince.  You've already worked out that a nuclear bomb will burn
up all the corpses so we won't be able to turn them into zombies.'
'We won't be able to turn them into zombies?'
'No, Mr Prince.  Besides, if we drop a nuclear bomb on Paris, Belial will
get the credit.'
'Belial?  The double-crossing backstabber!!  We do all the work of
dropping a bomb on the Frenchies, and he gets the credit!!  Right, drop a
nukuler bomb on Belial.  That'll show him.'
'Up to a point, Mr Prince.'
