You are obviously having difficulty with the rules of warfare.

War leads inevitably to dead people. How you kill them is ruled by a set of laws accepted by the international community. These rules allow the use of napalm, subject to certain conditions which I am positive you have not bothered to research since you appear to be ruled more by emotions than by things you've learned through study, viz., your discussion of LeMay and McNamara into an argument dealing with the use of napalm in Iraq.

If you don't believe in war, your point is a good one. Otherwise, more silliness.

And if Saddam used "not allowed" weapons, are we culpable at all in manufacturing and selling them?

Your comparison of Saddam to us is pathetic; we are not equivalents. You might recall that he used chemical weapons on his own civilian population.

And, no, I don't really care what happened 50 years ago. It's irrelevant to the present discussion.
