It is hard for you to swallow becasue your mind is not free to pay attention of dynamic of that event pretext.
For Your infromation that was not some bloody war for booty. It was a battle for SURVIVAL. Muslims had lost the previous battle and many precious live of noble men. Muslims prepared Trench to defend themselves against the full throtal army of Mecca who came to exterminate muslims and eradicate thier religion once and for all.
He used his powers most wisely and decision contained a message Which was broadcasted for all potential enemies hiding in ghettos hundreds of miles away from madina.
Now open your eyes wide and read this message :
" O Enemies of Islam ! Listen carefully. If you want wipe us out then come in front of us and fight. I you want to stab us in the back then we will break your arm and slit your throt before you could blink your eyes "
These bastrds dont know anything of history. His decision was to teeach a lesson enemies. You can not live peaceful life unless you nip the bud in the begining.
Here is the prime time story of following your philosophy. He was a noble and peaceful man. Muslim made him thier third Caliph. We know him by the name of Hazrat Usman (ra). He was very kind ruler and people were happy in his reign. There were some mischief element in the society, they were creating lot of controvercies. The advisers of this noble caliph told him about these characters asked his highness to take some action. The noble caliph told them that it is a minor hoopla and people will ignore them and forget it.
Some time passed and these elements in society build up strong comunity and cult following against caliph to De-throne him. The adviser again came to Caliph and strongly advised him to take some strict action against the leader of that cult otherwise they would create lots of bloodshed. The noble and peace loving Caliph declined and told them that it is against his belief harm them as they are his brothers.
Some time later he and his wife were living in their house and some terrorists came and slit his throt when he was reading holy quran. Inna lillah wa inna Alehe Rajeon
After his Shahdat These terrorist killed thousands of muslim in that region.
