You maybe disappointed at the pace, well...it helps to leave an intact society behind if you plan a regime change, and nuking them is a tad extreme, but its sure sounds good on a computer screen.

Like the intact Cherokee, Maumee, Potowatami, Naragansett and Seminole regimes we left behind a hundred years ago?

Sometimes genocide is a policy tool. Sometimes it works (USA vs. AmerInds, Turks vs. Armenians, Spanish vs. Arawaks). Sometimes it doesn't (Germans vs. Jews, Hutus vs. Tutsi's, Serbs vs. Albanians, Serbs vs. Bosnian Muslims). Genocide is and should always be the last resort. That said, if this Islam vs. USA crap can't be resolved any other way and it comes down to "this planet ain't big enough for the both of us", I'm for us, not them.

The problem with nukes is that the fallout is not so easy to contain. Biological warefare is much "cleaner."

We aren't at that stage yet for such a maximum use of US power.
