Current Event

A current event that I know is the recent beheadings done by the terrorist group known as Isis. I feel that we may be in a war with this group in the near future and if we do nothing, they will only get more powerful. The League of Nations should take action to end this group's existence. They have no heart, and care nothing but to kill, with no respect for human life. I know some are forced to join but the deaths of innocent people or even Children are no exception! These cowards must pay for what they have done, and for what they may do in the future, if no action is taken to stop them.
