I think, while Clark knew of Zod' potential megalomania and craziness but the whole point of him not going trigger happy on him so to speak was to sort of pre-emptively see if he would take another path in this timeline, under different circumstances. And with killing Alia, it's probably confirmed to Clark that Zod will still make the same choices, no matter what.
I get this, but the problem I have with this is that of all the instances that Clark could use as proof that Zod was always going to be crazy, he chose the one thing that actually had less to do with Zod himself, and more to do with "tradition". Lots of people do crazy stuff in the name of tradition, not because they want to, but because that's what they think is right. It just bugs me that that was what changed Clark's mind about the whole thing.
But the niggling part in this equation, which reflects terribly on the writers, is that why didn't Clark already come to this conclusion after Zod began the constuction of the towers? That should've been the greatest honking red light right there.
Exactly. I think letting the towers get built was a big mistake in the first place.
