Didn't that happen after the treaty was signed? So technically it cannot be included in the War of 1812. Moreover it was peripheral to the main conflict and war aims of the US - conquest of the remaining British North American colonies. If you read some of the writings of the war hawks at the times, the similarities to what Rumsfled and others said about the Iraqi people is rather striking. Same sort of reaction as well.
