Incidentally, I have discovered that as of 2009 the
US is now a signatory nation for this law: (If someone could
check if this is valid and I am not being deceived by the website)
Protocol on Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Incendiary
Weapons (Protocol III). Geneva, 10 October 1980. Protection of
civilians and civilian objects Article 2: Protection of civilians
and civilian objects1. It is prohibited in all circumstances to make the civilian population as such, individual civilians or civilian objects the object of attack by incendiary weapons.
2. It is prohibited in all circumstances to make any military objective located within a concentration of civilians the object of attack by air-delivered incendiary weapons.
3. It is further prohibited to make any military objective located within a concentration of civilians the object of attack by means of incendiary weapons other than air-delivered incendiary weapons, except when such military objective is clearly separated from the concentration of civilians and all feasible precautions are taken with a view to limiting the incendiary effects to the military objective and to avoiding, and in any event to minimizing, incidental loss of civilian life, injury to civilians and damage to civilian objects.
4. It is prohibited to make forests or other kinds of plant cover the object of attack by incendiary weapons except when such natural elements are used to cover, conceal or camouflage combatants or other military objectives, or are themselves military objectives.

It doesn't matter if the US has or has not signed it. Nothing in that quotation says "You may not use incendiaries in civilian areas". It's all qualified, like "May not use air-delivered incendiaries", which doesn't cover things like artillery rounds, for example.
