Obviously, you're excluding our troops in Afghanistan from New Zealand's "very public refusal" to send aid in the War on Terror. We've sent both a provincial reconstruction team and special forces engaging in combat. I could also point out our engineers who were in Basra with the Brits, NZ frigates and Orions in the Persian Gulf, and various interventions in "failed states" around the Pacific to stop them becoming havens for transnational crime and terrorism. But then you must know all that because you wouldn't post without first checking your facts, would you?

"I could also point out our engineers who were in Basra with the Brits"

under the UN authority of course.

"...NZ frigates and Orions in the Persian Gulf, and various interventions in "failed states" around the Pacific to stop them becoming havens for transnational crime and terrorism."

Even a neutral country such as Sweden will do in its areas of vicinity.
