numbah 8 newsy stuff
So one thing thats been on the news lately was the death of a Jordanian pilot named Muath al-Kasaesbeh. He was burned alive by ISIS and the video of his death was released. Jordan and ISIS were in the stages of negotiation when Muath was killed. I think how Jordan reacted was great. Probably the best reaction to terrorism. After the release of the video of Muath being burned alive, they executed 2 terrorists and sent air strikes to destroy IS hideouts. In 3 days Jordan sent out 56 air strikes. The best part is that it is rumored that King Abdullah II will actually be personally leading the air strikes and that is really cool because he is the king of Jordan. The fact that the king himself is fighting against IS really shows how capable he is as a leader and to what extent he is willing to go to fight for his people. Before Abdullah II became king of Jordan, he was Major General of the Jordinian Special Forces so it makes sense. I feel like being a part of the military should be a requirement for all presidents/political leaders because then they will really know what is going on outside of their offices. It's pretty awesome. Like a plot out of some action movie or something.
