Moaz al- Kasasbeh was burned alive by terrorist group ISIS after being held captive for a month. Kasasbeh was a Jordanian air force pilot who was captured. It has been stated that before being burned alive, Kasasbeh was sedated and that his "'sensory centres' burned quickly, leaving him unable to feel the pain of the inferno." The twenty-two minute video titled "Healing the Believers' Chests'" was posted February 3rd, 2015.
After the video was posted, many countries, including the U.S, have been striking ISIS by air. Our government constantly gets involved with foreign affairs and whether that's a good idea or not is a matter of opinion. Our troops are risking their lives for an issue that is not our own.
In my opinion, I believe that the U.S helping Jordan is a two sided situation. The fact that we are helping ocuntries that are in such horrible circumstances is great, but would they do the same for us. If the tables turned, and our country was under duress, would Jordan fight back for us? And thats the problem, our country gives, but will other countries do the same? If ISIS were in the U.S, would Jordan cross seas to come to our aide? And is the U.S even really aiding the countries under attack, or is our society just tweeting "#prayforjordan"? In the end, we are almost all left to fight our own battles, so lets say an officer from our airforce is burned alive. Will you be there Jordan? I doubt it.

This was a very good post Cearra and i really agree with you about how our country interacts with other countries. After 9/11 I don't never heard about any other countries helping out with that. We went and fought that war alone, and that's the problem. We lose lots of soldiers and aid workers from terrorists in foreign countries because it is the "morally correct" thing to do. I agree that help should be given but it should be reciprocated back by other countries. I believe that in America we have many problems to deal with. I know many people feel like we need to protect people in other countries but honestly. No one likes America other than Americans. And for all intensive purposes. We have fought or helped (donating equipment/weapons) in almost every war for a long time.
