So looks like Britain will help deliver aid and support America's efforts to help people in Iraq. Its annoying that nobody helps until America decides to help. Its like the other countries don't have a brain to make their own decisions...

Sorry what ?

• Civil war in Côte d'Ivoire
• Haitian rebellion
• Opération Baliste
• War in Chad
• War in Somalia (2009–present)
  • Operation Atalanta
  • Operation Linda Nchi
  • Bulo Marer hostage rescue attempt
• Second civil war in Côte d'Ivoire
• 2011 military intervention in Libya
  • Opération Harmattan
  • Operation Unified Protector
• Northern Mali conflict
  • Opération Serval
• Central African Republic conflict
  • Opération Sangaris

Half of these, namely Cote d'Ivore, Chad, CAR, Mali, are military operations in the region that's wholly France owned enterprise (as long as Americans do not mind, of course), therefore the notion of "help" is not very suitable here, minding their own colonial business I'd say. Besides in number of these operations the US took backseat, namely Mali and Libya, so if anything the US helped France. Outside of these fearsome French army is rather irrelevant in terms of help to the US, the most obvious example is ISAF, to which French army contributed less than, say, such military superpowers as Hungary or Romania.
