Typhoon vs F-16

[God Bless USA]

I noticed that several European countries, Russia, China ETC. use tail-less delta wing design fighter aircraft with a canard right behind the pilot, in todays design.  The USA has the F-15 Eage, F-16 Fighting Falcon, F-18 Hornet that do not use it.  I will not mention the F-22 Raptor because it has trust vectoring.  The F-35 JSF does not have trust vectoring.  Why are all the countries mentioned above using it?  What is its main advantage?  If its a great design why did they not use it on the F-35 JSF?  What I'm saying is I'm from the USA and this design is new to me and if a a new design will help a fighter great!

God Bless USA - I think valkyrian could explain better then I why tail-less delta's are used being such a unstable a platform and all.  You mention Russia as one of the countries that use a tail-less delta can you list the aircraft? 

Mike I agree with valkyrian I would be interesting in hearing real F-15/16 stories (smile face , my java doesn't work)
