The foreign minister of Iraq’s Kurdish autonomous region appealed Wednesday for military help in the fight against ISIS and humanitarian help for those displaced by the jihadists' advance and now in serious jeopardy. “I believe the United States has a moral responsibility to support us, because this is a fight against terrorism, and we have proven to be pro-democracy, pro-West, and pro-secularism,” he said.
