→How is preemptively destroying a core religious site a good idea?

Line 136:
*** The dialoged indicates that they thought of the tree as a religious sight; they just decided to bomb it anyway because of the massing army
*** Q seemed to assume that the attack on Hometree would end hostilities (in so far as they'd loose the will to fight and go somewhere else). This didn't happen and he's now instigated a war (Jake starts uniting tribes). Q needs to stop this before it becomes an army he can't handle so he attacks the only other target of opportunity he knows about that would possibly cause demoralization (Tree of Souls). He can't attack the army because while he knows where they are, they can move faster than his forces can with less limitation (gas for starters, and magic mountains). To be fair, attacking a core religious site is still a silly idea since it's as likely to increase hostilities as it is to defuse them.
**** True, it ''is'' a coin flip, but 50% odds of working is still 50% better than zero... which are the odds Quaritch is facing if he tries to either attack the entire Na'vi army, or if he just sits and waits for them to start besieging him.
