Response to Isis

It's been about a month since the terrorist group Isis televised the beheading of reporter James Foley. Several beheadings later with at least two televised, we are finally targeting Isis oil refineries from which the terrorist group gets their income. Isis started out to be a regional issue for surrounding areas like Syria and Iraq but soon they became an issue for the U.S. However, as we get farther and farther into this ordeal, we are finding that the rest of the world is getting in on the hunt for Isis. France especially is taking some heat. Recently Isis stated that "If you can kill a disbelieving American or European - especially the spiteful and filthy French... then do so" (The Local). France responded to these threats by stating that they were "not afraid" and that "France is prepared to respond to their threats."
As stated before, it is now clear that the world not just the U.S. is being targeted by Isis and accordingly, Isis is not only being targeted by the U.S. but also by the rest of the world. Even Vladmir Putin has been looking to join the coalition against Isis. If this is true, then that means that the tension the U.S. has had with Russia will go on the backburner if not go away all together. The people of America also need to unite, to put aside their differences and stand up for what they believe. We need to put aside our little squabbles as a nation and focus on the big picture. If Isis takes control then there will be no more freedom for anyone. So before more people start wanting more rights for issues like gay marriage, worry about what will take away your freedoms and rights if given the chance.
As a nation and as a country, we need to unite and put down this common enemy, and in the process of doing so we may happen upon of a time of peace unprecedented in decades where countries live without fear of nuclear war, where people have a sense of security, and where the patriotism of all is unquestionable.
