Yes, expanding the war into the inner colonies (including earth) may
seem 
like a great idea militarily, but the political consequences of such as 
action would be catatrophic. Remember, Earth and the inner colonies are 
likely to be very muti-ethnic and multi-national, and one stray 
bomb(non-nuke) may hit one of your cities, our one of your own cities. 
There are also certain to be large groups of people living in space, and

certainly working in space, so the effects of any space battle would be 
equally devastating.
