Eagles do not have paws, they have claws. Mammals have paws, except for primates like us, bonobos, chimps, etc. who have hands. Most people are right handed and extend that hand first so the right claw was chosen to show that our primary intent is peace. The arrows are in the left claw to indicate that we have military power that can be used, but (at least in the past) only as a last resort.
The olive branch of peace... yet the arrows allow for the preparedness of war!
Eagles will claw you and they will caw and could kill you if you do not back up or get out of the way.
The reverse of the US $1 bill shows both sides of the Great Seal of the United States. The eagle holds an olive branch in one claw, symbolizing the country's desire for peace, and a set of arrows in the other, indicating that the US is willing to use its strength if necessary. The Seal's designers intentionally faced the eagle towards the claw holding the olive branch to indicate that the United States prefers peace over war.
