My Israeli friend (who served in the IDF from 2000-2004) told me it was America keeping things in check, as at one point they came VERY close to wiping Iran off the map for good as things where flaring up big time between them both politically.

Long story short, I'd rather have the USA on my side, we're not playing a very big role in Afghanistan compared to the US and UK anyways.

Australia thinks its some big player world wide and people brag about how good they think the ADF is, the only "big player" we are is when it comes to minerals, I'd be surprised if we could even defend ourselves if something did happen.
