The U.S. recently launched an airstrike against an oil refinery in Syria. The U.S. launched this airstrike because that oils refiner make $2 million per day profiting ISIS. There were at least 14 missionaries and civilians killed during the airstrike. I think that it is a good thing that we launched this airstrike because we finally did something to try and stop ISIS. Before we were supporting them by buying oil reform them. We were basically giving them money to buy weapons. If we don't do anything to stop ISIS, they will continue to terrorize the middle East. When and if they gain power, we could have a third world war on our hands. ISIS is a very violent group that is a threat to everyone and I don't think they will hesitate to take over other countries. I think that the U.S. should try to get other countries in the middle East to provide troops to defeat ISIS and offer up troops of our own. I know that sending troops into Syria is basically saying that we are at war with ISIS too, but one day ISIS might come after the U.S. and I would not like to wait and see what that something is. So far, there have been over 5,500 deaths caused by ISIS, only from Iraq. Over 1.2 million people are homeless. I can't understand why a group of people would even want to be that violent and kill that many people. This is an example of a consequence of how people organize themselves. These people were motivated to kill by their leader and they all believe the same thing, that they are all doing this for all of the Muslim people. That they are cleansing the world of all the people who don't believe in their religion and that they do not belong there. This is a lot like Hitler and his belief that Germans were the superior race.

I think that the best economic system would be a mixed economy. I think that a mixed economy would be best because it isn't under the governments control completely, like North Korea, and yet the government still has a part in our economy. A mixed economy is very fair and affordable. In the U.S. the government will give people money to start a business if they don't have enough money to do start one themselves. The government will provide certain services to make life better for the citizens of that country. In Sweden they have high taxes, but that money will make its way back to you and go to free childcare or into your pension for when you are old and unable to work. Sweden's mixed economy is probably the most successful economy because the government makes sure that everyone is getting what they deserve and that is what a mixed economy is about. A mixed economy should be that everyone is getting a fair amount of services to help them create a business or have kids and still be able to work. You get to choose your job and what you eat and how many kids you want to have. Your can have so many choices, whereas, in a command economy, the government dictates everything you do and you don't have a lot of choice about what you want. Here in the U.S. we are very lucky because we have so many choices. The government doesn't say you will be this and you will be that, you get to pick what you do and how you go about doing that. A mixed economy is the best choice because it is the perfect balance between government and people.
