New Zealand was one of many nations that sent troops in the first Gulf War, and supported us in Afghanistan, but doesn't now. New Zealand is a natural ally of the U.S., a former British colony founded by European settlers, a democracy, a market-based economy. It should worry Americans, they should be willing to at least address (rather than ridiculing) the reasons why nations like New Zealand think we made a mistake. Nations Involved, Deployments in Desert Storm 1991: pdhealth.mil Afghanistan Australia Bahrain Bangladesh Belgium Britain Canada Czechoslavakia Egypt France Germany Honduras Hungary Italy Kuwait New Zealand Niger Oman Poland Qatar Romania Saudi Arabia South Korea Syria United Arab Emriates United States Go down the list, and compare it to the much shorter list today.
