Why are alarm bells not ringing?

In chapter I, article II of the United Nations
Charter, it states:

All Members shall refrain in
their international relations from the threat or use of force against the
territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other
manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.

The U.N Charter was signed in San
Francisco in 1945 by the United States along with 50 other
countries. Each country is bound by its articles, and the treaty prevails over
all other treaties (including 'special' relationships with other nations). In
other words, regardless of any hypothetical attack on Israel, the United
States is legally bound not to threaten Iran or any
other country. This is also enshrined in the constitution. Article IV Clause II
states:

This Constitution, and the
laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all
treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United
States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state
shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to
the contrary notwithstanding.

It is incredible that public debate regarding Hillary
Clinton's threat to annihilate Iran
centers around campaign strategy rather than international law.
