Obama on the death of Peter Kassig - War on Terror 2

The White House: A Presidential statement on the murder of Peter Kassig, " Today we offer our prayers and condolences to the parents and family of Abdul-Rahman Kassig, also known to us as Peter.  We cannot begin to imagine their anguish at this painful time.

Abdul-Rahman was taken from us in an act of pure evil by a terrorist group that the world rightly associates with inhumanity.  Like Jim Foley and Steven Sotloff before him, his life and deeds stand in stark contrast to everything that ISIL represents.  While ISIL revels in the slaughter of innocents, including Muslims, and is bent only on sowing death and destruction, Abdul-Rahman was a humanitarian who worked to save the lives of Syrians injured and dispossessed by the Syrian conflict.  While ISIL exploits the tragedy in Syria to advance their own selfish aims, Abdul-Rahman was so moved by the anguish and suffering of Syrian civilians that he traveled to Lebanon to work in a hospital treating refugees.  Later, he established an aid group, SERA, to provide assistance to Syrian refugees and displaced persons in Lebanon and Syria.  These were the selfless acts of an individual who cared deeply about the plight of the Syrian people.  

ISIL's actions represent no faith, least of all the Muslim faith which Abdul-Rahman adopted as his own.  Today we grieve together, yet we also recall that the indomitable spirit of goodness and perseverance that burned so brightly in Abdul-Rahman Kassig, and which binds humanity together, ultimately is the light that will prevail over the darkness of ISIL. "

Lets Get Real:

The above statement is quite moving, but words alone will not end the terror reign of IS in Syria and Iraq, they have to be traced and removed from this Earth.   There are those that want to talk to IS, those with that kind of advice should be told to smell the coffee.  IS and the Tehran Regime are a threat to Western values and to the security of the Middle East, there are talks between the US and Iran to stop Iran going nuclear, does anyone trust the Tehran Regime, if they do they need a padded cell and a lot of coffee.   Evil must be dealt with, as with the USSR, it needs to be destroyed and thrown in to the bin.
