I'm more interested in whether or not it is the wrong thing to do then whether or not it violates some treaty. This doesn't mean I have no interest in the 2nd issue but it is not as major as the possibility of a million extra deaths caused by an invasion.

Edit - Also your link also includes things besides treaties that the US has agreed to such as General Assembly Resolutions and International court findings.

"Destroy the cities, burn the villages, kill the animals, destroy the crops, make their widows weep and kneel before you"..........well, Schwartzenegger said something to that effect in one of the Conan movies.

The attack or bombardment of towns, villages, habitations or buildings which are not defended, is prohibited.

That "which are not defended" phrase would seem to a very big exception. I wonder if you know whether the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were undefended during WWII?
