What is ISIS? What do they want? Are we in danger? Can they be defeated?
These are complicated questions with complicated answers, but the world has been put on warning. This new breed of extremist-terrorist is attracting sympathizers from all over the world, including the Western World (Europe and the United States.) The threat of ISIS is real and now the only real question that we need our leaders to answer is... What now?
While we try to figure out how to best meet this threat it is important to remember that there are always those in the world who seek to force others to their will... those whose world view is warped by their own lust for power and wealth; they use fear to control people and fear is a powerful thing, but so is anger. When good people are motivated and angered by injustice they become inspired to make the world a better place - which is why in the end, ISIS and others like them are ultimately powerless.
