Yes we could defeat the IS—Just nuke all the lands they control—kill everyone—the good the bad and the ugly. De-populate the whole of the territory and include pakistan as well for selling it to them. Let Indian have whats left to re-populate with Hindus. Hey we bombed cities in Germany in WW II—targeting civilian population—inhuman yes, and they never bombed the USA. But we won. If we must slay every place with IS or Taliban—or Hammas—or Al Quida—so be it. Ask your self What would Rome do? What would Hitler have done if Germany was nuked and he had the bomb?
Well, it worked with the Japanese, who demonstrated with the kamikaze pilots, the Kaiten Torpedoes, and even soldiers with explosives on their bodies, that they were willing to be suicidal in war, but the atomic bomb gave the perfect message: we could totally annihilate you, without losing any of our own, and our Godlike the emperor Hirohito is now in question. I strongly doubt that nuking, or even packing nukes inside of bunker busters to level mountains to the ground. I am pretty sure that they would be very similar to the Japanese in that respect.
