The IRA had stated political aims and could therefore be negotiated with. What are the aims of AQ and are they seperate in your mind from Hamas and Hezbolla.

There have been very few wars of anhiallation in history and, as AtW says, they mostly fail anyway. 'Total War' has bugger all to do with eliminating a civilian population, Total warfare means that all of the countries resources are geared to the conflict i.e. you dont build cars any more you only build tanks.
fyi The UK went straight into total war mode in september 1939, the Germans in 1943. The Reich was still producing volkswagens till the middle of 1943.
