Why do Americans self promote their military efforts, and ignore those of their allies?

I have been doing some research for a history project on the New Guinea campaign as part of the Pacific war, and have found several good resources published in the UK & Aus, but all of the American books seem to ignore the considerable efforts of Aus forces in SW Pac. despite the fact they virtually held off, and then repelled the Japanese single-handedly, especially in New Guinea until reinforcements from the US came to their relief. I am not suggesting we could have won the Pacific war without the US, but no books from the US properly acknowledge the skill, courage and determination of the Aussies at Kokoda, Buna, Wewak, the battle of the Coral Sea etc. MacArthur even had to apologise for saying Aussie troops were lazy after they repeatedly rescued beleaguered US forces. Americans need to show more awareness and respect for their allies....
Can you explain to me why they have such an inward looking view of history?

If papal made comments about the jews similar to those he made about islam, would that be anti semetic?

The pope refered to comments made by historical figures and other popes in the past , such comments had negative things to say about the prophet of islam and about the islamic faith. What if the pope refered to the hundereds of hostile remarks about the jews made by so many popes several centuries ago . Would that be anti semetic behaviour , or a an action of hatered and it would require a t least a smiliar fuzz as that made in response to the comments made by mel gibson? or would it all be a matter of freedom of speech?
