How come almost every modern combat game is about a war in countries other than Iraq you know like Bad Company, CoD 4 and GRAW

COD 4 takes place partly in the middle east. About the other ones, not sure.

Call of Duty 4, and Desert Storm 2: Back to Baghdad are just 2 modern combat games that took place in Iraq, even though in COD4 the country was unnamed everyone knew it was Iraq.
