Deliberate targeting of non combatants is a war crime.

War crime or genocide? Last time I checked there is stil a people called the Japanese who flourish even today. Genocide is conducted in an attempt to wipe out a people because of race or ethnicity. The US acted accrodingly in order to shorten a war and to ultimately save lives. Your argument that the US committed war crimes by bombing civilians during WWII is quite a stretch.
