[Warcraft]- The Culling of Stratholme

So Uther and Jaina get all self righteous about Arthas wiping out the citizens of Stratholme, but is there any viable solutions that does not  lead to Mal'Ganis getting a brand new horde of undead, or killing off all of Startholme.

Not really, no. That's why it was the perfect trap. 

Arthas was already at the end of his rope, and barely able to listen to reason by that point. What he should have done was slow down, take a breath, and explain his experiences and very correct opinions about how dangerous the situation was. If he were his normal, (mostly) balanced and kind self, he would have gotten Uther and Jaina to see reason, and they would have found a way to mercifully end the town.

Instead, Arthas had been run absolutely ragged in his quest to save his kingdom, and he was in no mood to listen to anything that might slow him down, or worse, stop him. He threw his weight and anger around like his hammer and made a bad situation worse, alienating his allies while at the same time steeling his resolve to accept more and more extreme solutions to problems. 

Just as the Lich King had planned all along.
