U.S has a terrible war history.
Nagasaki and Hiroshima were nuked by the U.S, which killed and injured hundreds of thousands more civilians than any other military targets in history. The U.S had also invaded Iraq for the wrong reasons and resulted in numerous innocent civilian deaths.

Why did we decide to drop the 2 atom bombs? What if we did not do it? How long will the war last? How many more deaths? If you were President Trumen, a democrat, what would you have done?
Iraq, is it right or wrong, only history will tell. Why Iraq? What did Iraq do to trigger this invasion? Despite the struggles, does Iraq have a brighter or darker future?

Sounds like you haven't studied the bombing of Japan very thoroughly. In all likelihood, those two bombs _saved_ lives (American and Japanese). By sending a devastating message of who has the power to do what, the war ended much more quickly than it would have otherwise.
As far as Iraq goes, we have no moral standing.
As far as telling foreign nations they have no right to nukes, well, I don't think that's what we're necessarily doing. I think we're saying, "OK, you want nukes? Then you have to play by the rules that we play by."
On the other hand, the US can't expect others to follow different rules than we follow.
Your question, btw, contains three independent topics. Trying to tie them all together like that is a fallacy that will make it difficult to understand each case separately.

What did not get into Syria is nicely hidden, buried contained in the desolate tract sands waiting for the subsequent tyrant authorities to dig them up. it really is absurd for human beings to assert there have been no WDM, if there wasn't. how did Chemical Ali save his interest? Tens of 1000's Kurds were killed by employing chemical guns and we've Iraq warfare veterans yet death from chemical substances (which no individual is to be sure about, yet leaked out no so some time previous) that reason sluggish death from maximum cancers and appropriate respiration ailment. there have been and nonetheless guns of mass destruction in and round Iraq. there's a question that ought to be responded again, what exceeded off to those crates human beings overseas money which our troops stumbled onto in Saddam's presidential palaces? i recognize it wasn't used to wrestle the warfare with, that value us contained in the neighbor- hood of twelve billion a month in tax payers' funds. again to WMDs. look deep into the sands between Baghdad and Damascus!

Stop the rubbish. The Nuclear bombs we dropped were nothing compared to what we dropped on Dresden Germany, check your facts please before ranting.
Who told you that we invaded for the wrong reason? Oh yeah the old WMD bullshit. Read up on why we invaded Iraq please for once.
These numerous innocent civilian deaths? Er, could you list how many for us, I don't think you are going to have to take both shoes off. I suppose you were this concerned over innocent civilian deaths while Saddam was murdering tens of thousands of his civilians weren't you?

because of hiroshimo and nagasaki the us vowed to never use nuclear force again. it is not hypocritical, but firsthand knowledge that makes the us stand against nuclear aggression.that was world war 2, and the us did not start it. japan and germany did. the atomic bomb was new, and no one knew it's power. yes, the us used it to stop the aggression against the us, but when the us saw the devastion of the bomb, started a universal plan to stop the use of it. you are just trying to stir up trouble against the states, and you haven't even looked up information to give you credibility.

No, we didn't nuke Japan. We dropped an atomic bomb on it.
Nuclear warheads are MUCH more powerful than the atomic bomb.
