Also as Sox, i do believe the US, thanks to Bush jnr. particularly and events of the past before his, does have some culpability in the Iraq situation, and that it would be wrong to suggest we should just totally wash our hands of it all now .. anyway, that's not going to happen for all sorts of reasons so that's good as we do owe them .. then some see other reasons for us to be there, too

The foreign minister of Iraqi Kurdistan on Wednesday issued a desperate plea for American and Western intervention to halt the advance of ISIS extremists.
“We are left alone in the front to fight the terrorists of ISIS,” Falah Mustafa Bakir told CNN’s Fred Pleitgen, in for Christiane Amanpour.
“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.”
