Re: It does when America is the prime target . . .

We are the leaders of the West, ergo we are the prime target.

It is true that other nations are involved, obvious since this is a war against "global" terrorism, but the media will continue to point to America for U.S.-led interventions, and U.S. casualties.

We're in the spotlight,
