If you want absolute destruction, you'd have to go with something like a singularity or anti-matter.

If you want destruction of life, then either hard radiation, kinetic weapon (the mass driver mentioned), ecophagy through nanobots or a weapon capable of producing a magnetar-class magnetic field. Those would all produce the desired results.

Airborne Ebola (particularly the Zaire strain) would be about as serious a disease as can be imagined.

Nuke the Iran and stay away from its oil due to radiation on surface.
Anti the Iran and put your own machines there and start drilling oil. WIN WIN.

but to me the most interesting is not the nukes or anti-matter or any ray gun for that matter but biological weapons. they are greater than even chemical weapons. first immunize your nation with vaccine. then simply and silently release the deadly virus/bacteria/fungus or any natural or genetic-modified-shit. maybe americans or russians can use genetically-modified-small-pox virus (from their original stock of small-pox virus which they are keeping it for some purpose). within few months, it will wipe the shit out of the world (maybe somewhere from 70% to 90%). keeping in the mind that in that equation some of american citizens' immunization due to vaccine may fail but chances will be between 1% to 5%. mostly weak genes. automatically applying Darwin's Law.

now the question remains, what to do with the world when rest of population of world is more than 90% vanished after 6 months or a year? should americans slave the remaining humans? should americans take control of the rest of land of earth? can we call India and China as oversees states of USA?
