A moot point, Jeff; although I would wager the Genesis device would destroy
any Organians foolish enough to hang around when it goes off.  If protomatter
is too dangerous for even *Klingon* scientists to experiment with, it's heavy
duty stuff.

Regardless, if the Klingons thought they had a chance of destroying Organia
and the Federation, they might be tempted into a disastrous war.  Even if it
ended with the Organians stripping the Klingons of space flight, the 
Federation wouldn't want to see it.  I'm sure the Klingons don't rely on the
Organians for their own defense; they might well suspect that the Federation
would off the Organians and then destroy the Klingon Empire.  When the
survival of your entire race is at stake, any risk is a high risk.

Nonetheless, I would kind of like to see Enterprise 2 fitted with Genesis
Torpedoes.  Or perhaps Revelation would be a better name?
