time magazine covers in different regions (comparison) in 2013

i've recently seen some comparisons of time magazines in different regions, but they all showed covers that were several years old, so i've compiled the TIME magazine covers that were different in the US just from 2013. there are a handful of covers that are different in other regions, but the majority of differences are seen by the american readers of time. the covers we don't see are usually about international affairs, politics, war, and other countries in general. is this what makes us so ethnocentric??

does american journalism cater to americans' seemingly nonexistent desire to know about foreign affairs? or do we care/know less because of american media? either way, it might be worth checking international news sites once in a while, just to see what's going on in the world. 

inspiration for this post is from: http://www.buzzfeed.com/hunterschwarz/time-magazine-covers-in-the-us-vs-the-rest-of-the-world which shows differing covers over the years.
