Our world remains a dangerous place. America has to show decisive leadership, principled strength and continuous resolve when confronted with threats like ISIS. Lest we forget, two American journalists - James Foley and Steven Sotloff - were barbarically beheaded by these and ISIS continue to show an eagerness to act brutally against religious minorities and other innocent people of the region.
I am hopeful that the President's outline for regional partnerships to combat this continuing threat is finally signaling a willingness to strategically address the rise of ISIS.
