Trek vs Wars

While I grew up a Star Wars trekkie, I am not on the lunatic fringe of costume wearing or convention going -- while singluarly those aren't bad, together tthey tend to show the foundations of a weak character / personality ... that being disclosed, here:
 
I remember it was cool in Star Wars ('76) when they developed a weapon to obliterate a planet, with the unwieldly weapon of a moon-sized space station.  In Star Trek Deep Space 9, as I have been watching with MR, there seems to be a genocidal tendency, prediliction for complete and hasty anihilation through a planet's destruction, of which, in few episodes they mentioned has happened.  Apparently it doesn't take more firepower than all of the star cruisers, etc. to destroy a planet, if it is so seemingly routine.
