Indian incidents compared to US'

Something that perplex me is why any major incidents that happen in India is compared to the ones in US.

Militants attack on Mumbai (Taj, Oberoi) was compared to US 9/11 and now the satyam debacle is compared to US Enron.

Are we that bad to compare ourselves with a country that tops in trade deficit? Did we loose our originality? Why are we so much hung up on the western world? Or is it good to compare with country that is doing bad and alert ourselves not to go in that direction in the future?

Is US really that great to be compared? Hope I will dig far enough to find some answers?
