And that is nothing compared to the damage America's military could unleash if it had the public's backing. When American citizens support a war they go all out; if ISIS keeps stuff like this up or brings their attacks onto US soil I doubt the American public will maintain the stance of remaining uninvolved in the conflicts. While I am sure that most of America is very upset about the Paris attacks and any other attacks that ISIS has done against the civilized world, it would be a much different situation when the attacks come back home. Just look at how we reacted after Pearl Harbor or 9/11.
Regardless though, ISIS is digging its own grave here by harassing countries like France and Russia; bombing buildings may not hurt them in their own territory, but when it comes to the rest of the world they become severely outmatched.
Also it should be obvious to everyone that Conquest is a troll.

Rough estimation of land controlled or contested currently by ISIS:

You may notice there's an awful lot of area there that is not controlled by ISIS, likely never will be, not to mention neighboring countries and so forth.

Faces of civilian Syrian refugee children who would be either vaporized or possibly subject to long-term radiation effects from your "nuke" option, are below. (And this is just but one random photo; it doesn't include the hundreds of thousands of others, if not more than that even, of random civilian people, men women and children, non-combatants, who are already having a bad enough life as it is, who would be effected by or annihilated by a nuclear weapon detonated in the region).
Whoever would have all this blood and guilt on their hands, well, they would make ISIS look like nothing much really, in the grander scheme of things.(btw,you will kill me too if the nuke drops. #innocent)
