It's quite frightening and saddening to realize that while our President is reluctant to fight ISIS and stop their reign of terror, he has no problem using military tactics against his own people in our own country.
Restoring peace to Ferguson, Missouri, would be as simple as preventing outside influences into the town. It is obvious the problem is not the good people of the community. It is the rabble rousers coming from outside. They have been successful. All eyes have been on the Michael Brown story.
As sad and upsetting the Michael Brown story is, it will take time, patience and cool heads to uncover and then deal with the truth. The Jim Foley story on the other hand is clear and disgusting. Who would ever have thought that beheading would become a concern for Americans? The very images evoked are beyond our ability to process. It is horrifying.
Even in the face of this atrocity, the President will not call ISIS what it is: a radical, Islamic, terrorist group. Other the other hand, without all the information, the President and Eric Holder are willing to call the Michael Brown killing a racist act.
These two incidents highlight the lack of a clear policy or any semblance of leadership. God help us all.
