Quote:

With such a small military presence, South Korea's involvement has become purely symbolic and political; it is just enough to show the United States that Korea is still its ally, small enough that the dissenting voices at home will be appeased, but not enough that the Korean unit can do any significant good for the Iraqis who really need help.

Is the bold part not awkward from native views?
If not, what does 'it' in 'it is just enough~' mean?

Thanks.

The English is OK. It refers to Korea's involvement.
