How Does ISIS Affect Us?
In addition to being a threat to our country, ISIS is known for its destructive tendencies and beliefs. Not only is ISIS affecting and hurting us now, they are also destroying important bits and pieces of our history through demolishing and wreaking havoc on artifacts and infastructures.
ISIS could very well destroy some of our history and our present, but we as a country should make our bravest attempt to conquer this trial and pour water upon a raging fire that wants nothing more than to burn all else to ashes in its wake. This is, after all, the land of the free and the home of the brave.
