Iran, Iraq, China, Russia and the US

Message
Regarding Iran supplying weapons to Iraq. Woudn't that be a common sense factor to take into consideration, especially after naming Iran as a member of the axis of evil??? I would have fully expected Iran to supply Shiites and then made the adjustments to stem the flow.
Now, lets look at what the US may have supplied to the Iraqi insurgents. 1. 12 billion in cash handed out in 2003 with no accountability. 2. Weapons stockpiles left unguarded early in the invasion. 3. A significant number of Iraqi recruits deserted with all of their equipment.
Now, China and Russia continue to send arms and related materials to Iran. Since Iran may be using these against the US, aren't we now fighting against them as well??? This could go on and on until everyone is fighting everyone.
Bottom line is, this should have been expected, especially since our labeling Iran the "axis of evil" scared the Iranians enough to vote a total nutjob into office in Iran. And Palestine... and Lebanon...
