The US dropped 88,500 tonnes of bombs in Iraq. That was over twice Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined.
I’m not going to say what the IS did in Iraq was good, but it wasn’t nuclear bombs bad.
They did use depleted uranium rounds, so they did spread radioactive waste indiscriminately, but the scale is very different.
