If you're in the United States then yes, you can sue the United States for violating its constitution. If you want to sue another country in the United States for violating that country's constitution though then I'm sorry to say you're ****-out-of-luck.
I think the relevent law here is the Alien Tort Claims Act (or something along those lines).

If it is then I want to sue the Iranians for promoting terrorist activities against our boys in Iraq. Also want to sue every country in Central America for not controlling immigration and drug trafficking through its borders.

Sure you can. but the judge has to accept it and even then if iou got a favorable judgement you would have to see if we have reciprocal legal agreements to register the judgfement in the other nation and then enforce it. not easy.

Who did what to whom?
There could be extenuating circumstances...be careful not to be violation of a law ... just in the complaining about it.

You'll have to ask a lawyer to see if you have a case or not.
