Curious why are you soooo obsessed about UK and US - you do know that there are soldiers from all around the world in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
Nigel gourley - also picks up on one of the main problems I have with with news and the false perceptions about countries. You can find out so much about the problems in the Uk/Australia/Americas but not so much on other non english spreaking countries unless you can speak the local language. Fair comparisons are rarely made, because there is so much 'english' news material.

Great minds think alike, but fools seldom differ. (English Proverb)
