The Islamic State militants who killed James Foley are threatening to kill another American named Steven Sotloff in the video they sent on Tuesday. The group also holds two other American's, they are beheading them one by one. They are doing this because of American's involvement in Iraq and we have refused to pay ransoms, or exchange prisoners. I think that this is a serious problem that we need to put more resources into resolving. we need to rescue the prisoners and put an end to this terrorist group.
What actions do you think America should take?

Steven,
Good story and summary. You need to be sure to reply to people's comments as it is worth ten points per topic.
America shouldn't negotiate with terrorist but we should keep up the airstrikes and not back down because when we do it will be a sign of weakness that we can't afford to show. The men that were captured are adults and they knew the risks but still went.
I think America should just remain to stay calm about it. I think we should be more careful about our decisions and think before we do anything too serious.
The United States of America should keep doing what we are doing and just continue the airstrikes. If that doesn't help then we should put boots on the ground, but it would be an all out war. I wish would could just stay out of it and let a middle eastern country solve the problem.
I think that we need to get our citizens back to america and if anything else gets bad we might have to send some troops in. This is a big issue and we need to be taking it more seriously.
I think that maybe we should take some troops out to see what happens. If things would happen to get worse, we could just send more troops in. The ISIS has to end. I also think that we should find out where some of the ISIS members are from.
I think this is very scary and that America should be taking this very serious. We should be doing everything we can to get our citizens back.
