Quick Take
One of the most succinct and accurate observations I've heard all week about the rise of ISIS in Iraq and the terrorist threat they represent all over the globe involved the use of a famous quote from John F.

I'd love to use this quote as the basis for an essay or better yet, group discussion in classrooms this year.
