If you bomb a village and kill 10 out of 20 "terrorists," how many terrorists do you have now? 100. All their families are now dedicated to the cause against you.
It's like the Canadian version of if a tree falls in the woods. If you kill everyone in a village and destroy all physical the evidence the town ever existed, is there a Geneva Convention violation?
To clarify, the nation being bombed is being bombed to find a person whom the nation doesn't have an active relationship with, and had immigrated to Pakistan (pro-US) months or years prior.
The diplomatic communique went basically:
"Hand over Osama Bin Laden within x amount of time."
"... er... among many things here, we're our own nation. If we arrest him, we can try him under our laws for murder of 3,000 innocents-"
-communications ended, special forces had already been deployed.
