Remember that in the Middle East, they're used to dealing with war in a way that our Western minds can barely grasp. Total annihilation of a city--even the animals being killed--- is what war has been through the ages in that part of the world. When they didn't do it to that level, they enslaved the survivors of the town they sacked, carrying off their choice young men and women and forcing them to march to their new homes where they would serve their masters.
They still want to fight that way today. If ISIS wins, they will kill off most and enslave the rest. It's the way war is done over that way-- so if we were to turn the place into a glass coffee-table with our WMDs, it would only be what is expected over there.
