well, it allows for "well-regulated" militias. Some people interpret that to mean the national guard, not some sectarian or foreign-influenced armed group possibly inimical to the USA. So the militias in Lebanon and Iraq wouldn't be covered under that amendment, as they are or foreign-influenced armed groups.

The last time I checked Iraq and Lebanon havn't adopted the bill of rights. Also the 2nd amendment doesn't provide a green light to engage in murder and kidnapping. In the United States you can form a militia. But if you go around and start murdering civilians and taking people hostage then police will try to kill or imprison you to stop you from harming more innocent civilians. Which is the same thing that the U.S. and Israel are trying to do in Iraq and Lebanon.

First, the US Bill of Rights limits what the US government can do. And the 2nd Amendment applies to the American people, not everyone in the world.
Second, "a well regulated militia" (see also Article I, where Congress can set rules for conduct of such militias) don't go around car-bombing grocery stores or firing rockets into civilian suburbs.
Terrorists don't get to claim the title of militia unless they are fighting for a government. And if they are, then we get to hold that government responsible when their soldiers commit war crimes. Until then, they're terrorists. By their own admission.

Completely different country.
Also, our militia option is there for if our state ever gets invaded by a foreign threat. It's imply for defensive. Both those countries are on the offensive.
