Is it really a good idea to drill so deep as the Horizon did again?

The fundamental problem is not a very deep well among others. The problem is too many risks taken.

Corporations were first conceived as a way to promote risky economic ventures without the potential for any liability to fall back on either the owners or the employees. But this does not mean the the risks disappear. Instead the risks are transferred to society as a whole. Who ends up paying for oil spills, energy company failures, savings and loan failures, dot com busts, bad mortgages...etc. It is the people. We want some risk taking in order to promote investment but it is a bit out of hand. Perhaps we should be looking more seriously at how we do business instead of just trying to apply another band-aid on another problem.

"According to reports, the main reason that blowout happened is because of underground pressure that is too intense for any of todays technology. It has nothing to do with safety regs, just the cold hard fact that we can't dig that deep."

I don't believe that's true. I think the delay in capping the well is every bit of your reason, but I don't think that that's the reason it should never have been started. There are over a dozen rigs out there right now and not one of them has experienced any other problems. This is one rig with plenty of evidence to support that a breakdown in communication as well as neglect caused this leak. Regardless, in order to lessen the leak and hopefully stop it, we still have to drill at least one more boring.

I don't know what reports you are reading but real reports seem to point to a series of short cuts and not listening to warnings on BP's part. Even the safest system will fail if it's not operated properly. That is what most likley happenen on the BP rig.

Deep wells have already been drilled with no problem so the track record proves your statement false.

News Flash, Deepwater Horizon was not the deepest drilling rig in the gulf. If someone told you "we don't have the technology to drill that deep," is probably an outsider to the business or is just trying to start ****. We've been drilling in the deep gulf for years.
