In light of what they have done to American citizen James Foley, the Islamic militants should be wiped from the face of the Earth.

Boots on the ground, strategic bombing or any other means, I don’t care. All I know is that we will be fighting these people on our own turf if we don’t stop them now.

Maybe we ought to have an ice bucket challenge of our own for support of this endeavor, or at least for James. I’m 70 years old, and I would go and give my life to stop these barbarians.

Please, America, wake up and realize that we are at the crossroad for survival!
