Was hannibals bold plan to invade Italy a good or bad idea?

While Hannibal's plan did allow him to bypass the Roman army and sack the city of Rome itself, Carthage did ultimate lose the war. It's impossible to know if there was anything that Hannibal could have done "better." It's entirely possible that Rome was always going to win the war no matter what Carthage did, simply because they were so much bigger and more powerful that Carthage had no chance to defeat them. The fact that they prevailed in spite of the capital being sacked certainly adds credence to that argument. One should also note that following the war the Romans destroyed Carthage completely. They did not subjugate it or add it to the empire, but wiped it out of existence. You could, again, argue that they would have done that no matter what, but you could also make the case that they destroyed Carthage because of Hannibal's attack on the city of Rome. If you take those views together, then it was certainly a bad idea, and in the long run only provoked the Romans into even greater reprisals against Carthage. Had Hannibal fought a conventional war then he would still have lost, but the Romans might not have destroyed Carthage completely after their victory.

Why did Rome take such a hard Acton against Carthage after Hannibal's death?

There was great bitterness against Carthage because of the many thousands of Roman deaths which had been caused by Hannibal's invasion of Italy. Moreover, the party which wanted the destruction of Carthage was worried about her becoming a great power again and giving Rome trouble again. Despite the harsh peace terms imposed on Carthage by Rome, Carthage prospered. Rome imposed heavy war indemnities to be paid over 50 years to hold back Carthage economically. Ironically, one conditions imposed by Rome, the demilitarisation of the city, helped Carthage. The Carthaginians saved a lot of money by not having to pay for an army. Carthage also had one of the most fertile lands in the Mediterranean. She paid the heavy war indemnities easily and offered to pay the indemnity more quickly, but Rome refused. Her economy was thriving. This was presented as a threat to Rome by the pro-destruction of Carthage party. Their leader, Cato the Elder, ended all his speeches by saying "furthermore Carthage must be destroyed." Not all Romans agreed with destroying Carthage, but the pro-war party won the day.
