"Using Napalm which IS a WMD (chemical weapon) that has been banned by international treaties, but not by the US, against Iraqis, while obviously the US doesn't even know whether Iraq does have WMD (but can only guess) is totally immoral."

Napalm is not a WMD.

According to our linked article "A 1980 UN convention banned the use against civilian targets of napalm".
You have things called "miltary targets" and things called "civilian targets" do you have any clue what the difference is?
If so you would understand that we didn't have any civilian targets in this war- whether using napalm or other types of bombs.
And we didn't sign it, nor would I guess that Iraq signed it either, if I'm guessing right, then it's completely irrelevant. Note: The only reason this is even a story is some stupid reporter asked if Napalm was used, and Napalm wasn't, the US military now uses a better substance to burn enemy soldiers. Some people might loosely call it "Napalm" because it does about the same thing- but the "improved incendiary" pollutes less. Happy?
