Killing the Jordanian pilot by burning him alive; has ISIS finally crossed the line? What should the US do?

Absolutely nothing, that's what. This isn't our problem. Everyone always begs America to take the lead and curb-stomp terrorists all across the globe. Then when we do it, they scream at us for doing a good job of it. Let Jordan and Japan handle their own problem. Let the Kurds and the Iraqis handle their own problems. If they want to take their sob story somewhere, take it to the UN and see what kind of response they get. America shouldn't be the whole world's big brother that will win fights for them.

L/Cpl Steve Wininger, thank you for selecting this topic. In my opinion ISIS is a cancer that needs to be wiped off the face of the earth. I do not believe they represent those who believe in the Islamic faith. I am not a fan or supporter of the Islamic faith, but it appears to me that most of the people being killed by ISIS are other Muslims. I fail to see how they can even justify their actions. Regarding the Jordanian pilot who was "burned alive", recent intelligence evaluations are questioning whether or not the pilot was in fact already dead. Not that this makes it better, but the thought of being burned alive is an horrific and painful death, but the pilot is still dead not matter if before or during the burning. What should be done with ISIS? First the United States needs to explore where they are getting their recruits from. As I understand one origin is a particular Mosque in Minnesota. I would infiltrate this Mosque to find out how these young people are being convinced to join the ISIS forces. Another source of recruits are our very own prisons. We need to look into our judicial system and prison system and determine alternative incentives to offer inmates to keep them from turning to Islam and thus ISIS. We must also employ the talents of the CIA to increase our HUMIT. Electronic intelligence is a great aid, but nothing beats Human Intelligence. This is the only way we will be able to reduce ISIS's numbers, by killing them!

We can hurt them here and there, but they are an enemy we cannot defeat and a cancer we cannot cut out. The best chance we have to rid the world of them is for them to go too far for even the Muslim world; for the remaining Muslims to turn on ISIS, to be just as ruthless and without conscience as they are and to fight fire with fire. Beheadings, rapes, slavery and mass murders don't seem to bother the Muslim world so we'll see if burning another Muslim alive will cause them to raise an eyebrow. I hope this is the event that will start that --- but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Evil will continue when good men do nothing.

One more thing - I've been a law officer for 40 years. Right now there is a terrorist criminal case in every state but one, Alaska. THEY ARE HERE NOW!!! Do not let the liberal media fool you - these muslims are locusts and must be exterminated!

I think they crossed the line long before they burned the pilot. They have raped and killed women and children and have massacred entire villages. This most recent execution is just another straw on the camels back. They are taunting the U.S. and they aren't going to like the consequences. They keep going after innocent civilians that aren't able to defend themselves. Not only do they need to be exterminated, but their ideology needs to be wiped off the face of the earth.

My opinion no matter if it is ISIS or any terrorist organization is that they and theirs should be eradicated. You leave one alive you leave the idea alive to fester and grow into another perhaps more repulsive and lethal threat. No mercy, not even a little bit. The king of Jordan has exactly the right idea and we shouldn't get involved unless that is what we intend the end result to be . It's what we should've aimed for right from the very start of our involvement in the Middle East. If we are going to fight by all means LET'S WIN!

Not to ruffle any feathers or talk politics, but we should have done something a long time ago. If we had a CIC worth more there would be divisions with boots aground. I don't like seeing America in another war but I fought hard in that hell hole and I have eight to many folded flags sitting on desk from close friends to see all our hard work pissed away from the pansy ass whatever that it seems America has turned in to. End rant for the day

I did find the response from Jordan almost comical. Like, OK, now you pissed us off, we are going to really try now? Am I a moron, or did anyone else kind of get that take from their statement after that happened.

This isn't specifically an "American" problem. It's time for middle east countries to start standing on their own feet and take up arms against those like ISIS who clearly can't get along well with others.

In my opinion, after being stationed in Bahrain for a hot minute, it seems to be the practice of many nations in the gulf to sit back and watch from their protected borders as other countries are torn apart from the inside by radicals. The only time they decide to take any action is when members of ISIS are knocking on their front door. The Jordanians had to learn this the hard way with the gruesome execution posted online for the entire world to see.

Unfortunately, this also scared one of our allies in the region, the UAE, to leave the coalition...

I'm sorry but if you're a pilot one of the major risks is getting shot down and captured. If you can't accept that then it's time to find another line of work. The UAE could learn a lesson about self-reliance from Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh.

In regards to ISIS, congratulations you have the world's attention. Let's see how long you last.
