This is an area that has long held my interest.

Here's one from Iran:
Image Not Found

It commemorates the downing of Iran Air Flight 655, shot down by the guided missile cruiser USS Vincennes while in Iranian airspace on July 3, 1988, killing all 290 on board - the deadliest air incident in history to date. This highly controversial episode resulted in the US paying a $61.8 million settlement to families of the victims, yet the US never formally apologized to Iran.

I pulled this stamp, on-cover, out of the trash when I was at University of Penn. I REALLY regret soaking it off its cover. The fact that it was postally used on a letter TO the US makes it highly collectible, to me, and I'm very sorry I obliterated the proof of its provenance.
