Since the Islamic State overtook vast areas of land in Iraq and Syria in a lightening advance this summer, President Bashar al-Assad's regime has actively launched airstrikes targeting militant-held positions in Raqqa, as has the US-led coalition waging its own battle against the Sunni Islamist group's presence in both countries.
It's very unfortunate that most Americans are too ignorant to realize how lucky we are that McCain or Romney are not leading our country. If we had
listened to them and attacked Assad, we'd be allies with ISIS now.
