You ignorant butt hole. Iran and Irag are using those weapons to kill and terrorize. Israel uses their weapons for self defense. The US does not want to be boss. Because no one else will, the US has taken on the responsibility to help protect those who have difficulty protecting themselves. Maybe it doesn't always work as planned (i.e Iraq), but the Iraq people needed help and the US perceived serious threat from Iraq. You Daam SUREE need some serious learning.

America doesn't act like the "boss." If it did, it would have instituted a large draft to field massive armies to roam the world and colonize at will. Or, if some other nation or world leader displeased America, it would obliterate them with nuclear weapons with no thought of the consequences, just to make an example of them to all other nations. This hasn't happened and will never happen. Think of America as the nice big kid on the block, who would rather just play with his friends or be left alone. The problem is, there are always some bullies, big and small, who stir up trouble in the neighborhood. Sometimes the neighborhood trys to talk to and negotiate with the bullies, but that usually doesn't work in the long run. This is called "appeasement." So, sometimes the neighborhood will ask the nice big kid for help. As we all should know, the best way to deal with a bully is to get a nice big kid to smack him down. This is called "deterrence." Sometimes the neighborhood is happy when this happens, sometimes the neighborhood has some gripes about how the bully was handled. The nice big kid also knows that the best way to handle the bully is to smack him down on his own block or in his own yard, and not wait for the bully to come to the nice big kid's block or yard. This is called "smart," and also "security." Peace through strength.

Dare Devil ... I'm not going to devote a lot of time with my answer to you. I'll reply this way: If you think America's ambitions and motives can be compared to what's going on in Iran, there may be two possible explanations for this:
1 - You didn't take any history classes in school, or
2 - You've been on your Playstation 3 too long and you feel that studying current events has something to do with the Grammy Awards or the contents of Anna Nicole Smith's refrigerator.
I'm sorry to be so blunt, but in case you haven't quite gotten the gist of things yet, let me try this approach ...
Suppose there was a person trying to flee his homeland because of persecution and the threat of being assassinated. Among the two choices you offered, where is this person most likely to flee to?
A - Iran
B - The United States
Most people would say there's a 50% chance of choosing the correct answer. However, based on the way YOU posed your question, I fear your chances may be zero.
I won't say more.

I think this is Americas biggest problem in their perception:
"they are better than any other country, more Superior". This gets us into trouble with the world. We are looked at like the spoiled stepchild by others. We need to get down off our high horse and start to realize we are just a part of the big puzzle called the world. When we do this we can then get on a level playing field and have peace.
We think we are so powerful and that it is our way or we shove it down thier throats. Little do we realize we are asking for trouble from other countries with this attitude. Why do we have to prove we are so strong? It is really unnecessary.
We feel we are so Superior that we help other countries with weapons, equipment, and training for their troops. What if these countries (like Iraq) later turn on us? Do they not have all our secrets and the best equipment money can buy?
Our soldiers just do as they are told, bottom line. They should be honored for following commands from our government and putting their lives on the line. How many people can do that everyday?

Well, you first have to look back at the Cold War. The only other superpower that was competing with us at the time was the USSR, when they went down, in I think it was 1991, we became the only superpower. Our country thinks of itself as a protector state, in a sense, because we have to protect all the smaller countries that come to use for help. Israel came to us for help, and so we helped them out. I guess it is just a political opinion if we did the right thing with Israel. With Iraq and Iran, it is different, because it is not the people OF Iraq that we are fighting with, it is internationally sponsored insurgents and terrorist that are wanting to take us on.
I am not an expert, but I have been studying this for a little while...

Iran doesn't have a right to give weapons ti Iraq, because they are using those weapons to kill our young men and women who are proudly serving thier country. What do you mean when you say "let the games begin"? Please educate yourself first about a subject before commenting on it. You never been over there, so you don't know what it's like to get attacked by rockets and mortars or shot at by Iranian weapons. Iran is not helping the situation, they are making it worse. And as far as Israel, I feel that every country has a right to defend itself from crazy terrorists.

Let's see. One Democracy (America) giving another Democracy (Israel) weapons for self-defense. Hmmm. I'm not seeing a problem with that. On the other hand, one terrorist nation (Iran) giving another terrorist nation (Iraq) weapons for what? Self-defense? Uhh no. To kill innocent people? Bingo! Not that it matters because Iraq is not a terrorist nation anymore. So your argument, not to mention spelling and English skills, is very misguided. In other words, WRONG !

because we are the BOSS
Economically, Technology, Agriculturally, and so on and so on.
We give arms to Israel, S. American countries, and did you know we are the #1 arms dealer in the world.
I really dont care if Iran gets involved and supplying Iraq's insurgents with weapons, they re next on our list. So when time comes to invade that country hey o well....its their time then North Korea has a *** whippin coming
God Bless America and if you dont like it move to 3rd world country

Good question.There are difference here ,that is the USA is supplying weapons to Israel to make it the Middle East police and to terrorize its neighbors and Palestinians,While the Iranian act is to make the USA busy in Iraq to complete the military nuclear program and to kill Arabs .Both the USA and Iran are evil states and should be condemned

I'm with Perfect on this one. You are a categorical idiot! (Incidentally, your grammar, sentax, spelling and skewed arguments all attest to this condition very eloquently.)And the USA is (and will be) the "boss" until too many like you exist or some other nation that sacrifices enough for decades and recognises the need to set standards for moral, ethical conduct emerges on the scene. And, if as you perceive, 'everyone' stands up for America (with a capital 'a') then are you no one? Wait a minute. I hope you are correct on that issue. And for someone with the intellect you exhibit 1 out of 3 "ain't too bad...."
