As the Iraqi civil war rages on, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria
(ISIS), or otherwise knowns as Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant
(ISIL), has recently began to execute U.S. journalists through
beheading, releasing gruesome recordings on internet. This has sparked a
new wave of outrage throughout the world, and in his September 10
Address to the Nation, President Barack Obama vowed to "degrade and
ultimately destroy" ISIS, outlining a war plan that involves air strikes
and sending more troops to Iraq. On the 13th anniversary of the 9/11
attack, has the United States learned anything from the War on Terror,
or is it doomed to repeat the same mistakes?
