Nuclear explosions generate radioactive fallout (or make the cave they were set off in very radioactive...). Ionizing radiation can damage genes, so setting off nukes is probably detrimental to the gene pool. (you never know when a beneficial mutation will occur...). Besides, doesn't Usama bin Laden have a bunch of kids already?
