Insurgencies have been squashed in recent past (without resorting to nuclear weapons). Search for the end of Tamil tigers in Sri Lanka, Russia crushing Islamists in Chechnya, China crushing Islamists in Xinxiang (or however it's spelled), China crushing the Tibetan insurgency, and currently, Israel almost crushing Hamas.
