smart bombs is the obvious answer, but your question is has a false pretense.
Carpet bombing and a drone strike are not in the same "solution space", its like trying to tighten your shoelaces with your hands or with a 10 ton excevator.

Oh, but they are (particularly because I'm not just including drone strikes, but smart bombs). Wanna destroy a factory, a power-plant, a bunker, a government office? In WW2, you'd just carpet-bomb the surrounding area and hope some bombs hit the target. Today, you deliver a payload to a specific part of it. Compare the bombing of Belgrade in the Balkan wars to any WW2 bombing run. There are two discussions in place: - How we make weapons more precise and limit collateral damage - How we reduce the need for weapons in the first place Both lead to a better situation than the status quo.
