Aside from the nuke nonsense

what ELSE is wrong with this statement? (h/t to tristero)

On the September 12 edition of his CNN Headline News program, Glenn Beck said that "[t]he Middle East is being overrun by 10th-century barbarians" and "[i]f they take over ... we're going to have to nuke the whole place."

Is the United States and the rest of the West so weak that we would have to nuke a bunch of "10th-century barbarians"? Why does Glenn Beck hate America?
