germany is already doing much more than they are officially allowed to. in case you don't know: after WWII it was put into the german constitution that no german soldiers are allowed to actively participate in a war that is not an attack to their own or NATO territory.
plus we have taken over most of the duties in former yugoslavia and are with a couple of thousand soldiers in northern Afghanistan
and: we didn't even start that whole shit
but basically: our constitution does not allow us to go there although we're already helping out by sending our Tornado planes
