Why is Germany in Afghanistan?

I don't want to wish any country to get a taste of al Qaeda/Taliban atrocities but it may take a Madrid or WTC type event to finally get Germany to get blood on their hands.

NOT LICENSED TO KILL

German Special Forces in Afghanistan Let Taliban Commander Escape

By Susanne Koelbl and Alexander Szandar
German special forces had an important Taliban commander in their sights in Afghanistan. But he escaped -- because the Germans were not authorized to use lethal force. The German government's hands-tied approach to the war is causing friction with its NATO allies.

It's not the German military in so far as I can ascertain from the article but the people responsible for the ROE's.

Some German soldiers are going to die because they aren't allowed to go hunting and pull the trigger when the time is right.
