    No the US has not broken the treaty as the Iraq conflict was under ceasefire.

    Iraq broke several of the conditions that bound the ceasefire. WMD was not required in a legal sense to resume hostilities, they where needed to drum up pub(l)ic opinion.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
