After hearing the rant of Jihadi John on his latest murder video I thought of the Jim Croce song, "You Don't Mess Around With Jim". Part of the lyrics says "you don't tug on Superman's cape". The ISIS propagandists seem to think that murdering a few innocent Americans will frighten us into not bombing them to stop the murder of lots of innocent people. Jihadi John, you have tugged on Superman's cape.
In Croce's song, Big Jim Walker got on the wrong side of Slim, and he was cut from one end to the other. The end of the song says "don't mess around with Slim". I really don't like the fact that America has elected a Republican majority in both houses of Congress, but I suspect that we will have a bi-partisan reaction to ISIS. I would be really surprised if we don't make an all out response to ISIS. ISIS came into existence because of the disastrous policies of the younger Bush, and we now have a president with the sense to fashion a workable response to them. We need to get Arabic forces to lead the ground war. President Obama has been able to begin building a working relationship with Iran on this issue. We need to have their co-operation on this issue.
