War on Terror Update

The Economist is helping to keep us informed on our successes in the War on Terror® with this handy little inspiring graphic.
Looks to me like Iraq accounts for more hostages than the next three big ones combined. Do they give out some sort of award for that? Like when Hitler killed off more Jews than anyone else in history. The United States has managed to create a nation where hostage taking can be more than just a casual past time. Talk to your careers counselor today!

Or is this part of a strategic plan to create a central clearing house for terrorist hostage situations? Admit it, the whole problem would be much more easily and expediently dealt with if we could have all of our negotiators and hostage rescue swat teams in just one country. And tourists would know that going anywhere but there for vacation would be a pretty safe bet.
