By the way, here is some perspective on who NATO is in Afghanistan as of 2007.
Belgium: 290 Troops
Bulgaria: 150
Canada: 2,500
Czech Rep: 67
Denmark: 389
Estonia: 130
France: 1,900
Germany: 2,750
Greece: 171
Hungary: 159
Iceland: 20
Italy: 1,950
Latvia: 40
Lithuania: 115
Luxembourg: 10
Netherlands: 2,137
Norway: 540
Poland: 100
Portugal: 156
Romania: 750
Slovakia: 57
Slovenia: 51
Spain: 800 and getting less
Turkey: 825
United Kingdom: 6,300
United States: 12,000
It is clear who NATO is. US has to beg France and Germany for help and they simply refuse. Most of the contributing nations have offered non-fighting troops. Truck drivers etc.
