The bomber commands felt that the indiscriminate bombing of "targets" would "reduce the morale" of the enemy's general population, in spite of the response of the British civilian population to the Blitz. Curtis LeMay especially thought so in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary; and to this day, so did the American (at least civilian) command in Iraq.
The only thing that appears to work is nuclear bombing and complete destruction of whole cities in an instant.
