American Journalist beheaded; Sunni militants have terrorized Iraq in their attempt to enact an Islamic state

Members of ISIS behead American journalist James Foley, 40, in evident counterattack for U.S. airstrikes against the group. Foley, who worked for GlobalPost, went missing in Syria in November 2012. ISIS releases a graphic video of his killing. After his death, the U.S. announces that troops had attempted to rescue him and other U.S. hostages in July, but they had been unable to locate him. ISIS says Steven Sotloff, another kidnapped American journalist, will be killed if the airstrikes continue. President Obama refers to ISIS as a "cancer." "The United States of America will continue to do what we must do to protect our people," he says. "We will be vigilant, and we will be relentless." The U.S. steps up its airstrikes against the militants following Foley's murder. While meantime Iraq cities are being attack by sunni militants who do not have any control over those cities. Al qaeda is back in Fallujah, and the Sunni muslims are determined to rule the other part of Iraq to spread Shariah law. 

Questions to think about: 
How long will Iraq will be in civil war?
How much time will take to get rid of Al Qaeda again?
What other kinds of actions do the Sunni Muslims plan to do?
