The law was dictated by the USA the conquerors of Germany. Germany has been a nation in thrall since the war Smack not much they do since that time is allowed without their masters consent. More than ten million Germans were starved to death after the war by the banking allies. In essence it's an American law.
I have to agree with Sparrow. I find it appalling that some people seem to believe that only because the US has set their mind to doing something all other nations should follow... For those who keep talking about the British joining in so willingly: Since the US used to be part of the Commonwealth, there is still a special connection between the US and GB. If one country goes to war the other is more likely to join than other nations that are not connected this closely. The same goes for Canada. If the British are at war they "automatically" assume the Canadians will join in, too, because they are a member of the Commonwealth. (There might even be an obligation?!) And in this case they did...
gerryh, i aint a psycopath... People around where i live stepped up, when our country stepped up to be involved in afghanistan, call it what you want... For better or worse we have stuck by our country... (some days we wonder why...) Now as i read the thread as it has progressed, if Germany and France are in fact locking there troops in barracks at night then they might as well leave the country. If Germany has a code in there law books stating they cant attack another nation, then pack it up.. cause they seem to be useless.. Eaglesmack is correct alot of our North american blood has spilled on that continent, mabye the europeans dont return favours or underscore our sacrifices like were the polish. The Dutch obviously seem to remember... The reason why i mention say "being a european" isnt an excuse, cause it isnt. My family and alot of others (mabye yours i dont know you personally) came from europe and were essentially the same people of the europeans... When we leave afghanistan in 2011, ill support that decision too. We did our share and its time to pack it up. If we stay longer, i wont be happy about it but i will support our troops still... im not trying to pick a fight, i just feel that way about this subject. germany+france = useless in Afghanistan... i know one person in afhganistan personally, and about 3 people i met and knew on a regular basis also went. Obviously i support them.
Mabye if the french and germans were fighting and putting the same as us on the line, mabye more canadians would be alive...
they lock the doors at night while our boys are out there fighting,
And maybe the French and the Germans are the only smart ones over there. None of the invaders has any business being there and we certainly have no business killing people. The Afghans need to sort out their own business. If they want to stay in the dark ages, that is their decision.
If the majority of Canadians had their druthers, they'd rather follow France and Germany's example than pour our youth into another failed adventure.

I thought that the Soviets, British, and Canadians had a little bit to do with the defeat of Germany as well. The Soviets more than anyone.
Germans were starved to death after the war?
Wow...you are a revisionist.
If the Germans were starved it was because they were invading every country around them and got their butts handed to them in the end.
if they were as smart or smarter then us they wouldnt be over there in the first place, but they are.... so start putting out
I don't see anyone discussing why more foreign troops are needed when Afghanistan has had 8 years in which to build up its army and has failed to do so. With all those billions given to them by Bush as our infrastructure collapses, and with all that troop support, Isn't time for them to stand up and fight their own battles?
The Afghans have been fighting the British, the Soviets, the Americans, us Canadians, NATO, and others for almost two centuries. Does anyone seriously think they need training to fight?
Conscription has been around for centuries, in fact America had it until recently in the
scheme of history. Its time some other countries came forward and contributed to the
force, In fact if we had a surge from all NATO countries and go after these Taliban
miscreants once and for all.

Then we don't need to be there. Precisely my point.

Let Israel send troops. Glad to see that Germany refused to send more troops. Why have the Canadians extended their mission? All the leaders eventually agreed--and how did the POPULATION of Canada feel---does it matter? Maybe we should have the German Shepard and Poodle mounting a beaver with a Bald Eagle watching.
