Every time someone asks me to explain Naruto to them, I always use analogies of Konoha to the USA.
The more I think about it now, the more it seems like the Middle East is analogous to the Hidden Rain. Like any nation or religion they all have their radicals similar to the Akatsuki and the U.S. has their president, government and response teams aka the US Army/Navy/Air Force/ Black Ops similar to Konoha's Hokage, advisors, shinobi, special ops, and Anbu.
