When it comes to Iraq I sometimes (cynicaly) wonder if these small countries (Slovenia included) are there just to pad the list of countries in Coalition of the willing. Frankly how much difference does few dozen more troops make? Unless they are specialists in high-demand jobs (mine clearing etc) or have some skills that help interact with locals I doubt there is much difference.

Of course this isn't about small contingents that pay for themselves but rather those who only contribute troops while US picks up the check.
