New Zealand has had the shit been given to it since Gallipoli by the English and because of our history we are still very nervous about military commitment.
I do not support the terrorist attacks that happened recently any way and I feel sorry for the massive loss of life that has occured because of it, also with to remind the US people that we are offering the US "OUR SPECIAL FORCES" the SIS is our version of the rangers or SEALS (I think thats the one), our ground troops are currently tied up in East Timor and its not a cool thing to pull just to help someone else.
