Americans, Canadians and Brits complain that it is they who carry the major part of the burden of war in Afghanistan. They want others too to participate more actively in their criminal enterprise. Hence the frictions. We'll see how the situation will develop.

Is this a joke? American taxpayers are the ones who help pay for NATO. The whole purpose of the alliance if for nations to fuffil their obligations that they 'signed up' for. If you want to leave, then LEAVE. Thats the problem with Germany-- they should just leave NATO instead of refusing to send troops.
But then again, if European nations left then NATO wouldn't be able to help them in a future hypothetical situation involving their country.
And don't mistake me, I'm against NATO. But if you're in, you're in! If you're out, you're out.
