Just destroy ISIS

Tears ran down my cheeks as I watched the news about the bombing in Manchester, England. A lot of young people were killed. For what? They were just enjoying a concert. ISIS has said it is responsible. Now what?

Why haven’t we gone after ISIS with all of our power, as we did in 1991 in Iraq?

ISIS is the scum of the Earth to kill kids. If I were president, I would already have planes in the air. Anyone who would say we can’t do that is in the same class as ISIS.

I hope that President Donald Trump bombs the hell out of them and that other countries join in to make ISIS pay. God bless America and all who would form a coalition to defeat ISIS no matter where it is.
