Nuking Afganistan wouldn't have done much in the long run. Not when the people you're fighting are happy to die for their cause. Would have just been a good recruiting tool for Al Qaeda, some would ahve taken it as proof that Bin Laden and co were right about the West. I thought Bush initially handled Afganistan very well, which is why I was so dissapointed when we went to Iraq and Afganistan suffered.
