Firstly, according to the Nuremburg Trials, "The making of aggressive wars is a crime".
That Iraq didn't attack the U.S. makes the Iraq War an aggressive war.
The wars in Iraq and Afghanastan have led to many atrocities. The torture of prisoners
was first said to be a case of a few "bad apples" working at the prisons. We have since learned that the orders

retroactive immunity from war crimes.
At an Armed Services Committee
hearing on Capitol Hill the Navy's General Counsel Alberto Mora
testified the use of "harsh" interogation tacticts was a terrible mistake and continues
to harm our nation's stature worldwide.
As well, there is evidence that the U.S. has used white phospherous and MK-77 in bombs. MK-77 is "the direct descendent of napalm".
Both of these are incendiary weapons the use of which violates an international weapons treaty.
