The murder of Steven Sotloff was a response to the US\u2019s continued airstrikes on ISIS (the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the long run the attention they may be getting may not be the kind attention they desire. If history is a lesson, it is likely to provoke a counter reaction that they are not prepared militarily to deal with,\u201d stated Dr. <a href=\"http:\/\/politicalscience.cos.ucf.edu\/people\/vasquez-paul\/\">Paul Vasquez<\/a>, a Lecturer in the Department of Political Science at UCF. \u00a0Dr. Vasquez, who specializes in international relations related to military institutions, told Brendan Byrne of WMFE Public Radio (90.7) that ISIS forces will likely provoke a formidable international response.<\/p>\n<p>Even before this second American journalist was killed by ISIS forces, evidence of the growing seriousness with which ISIS is being addressed was evident in various respects, including increased pressure on ISIS both on the ground and from the air.\u00a0 For example, prior to stepping down in favor of a leader who could possibly do a better job of undermining support for ISIS, former Iraqi leader Nouri al-Maliki\u2019s government was reported by one U.S. official to have started providing \u201cunprecedented\u201d support to Kurdish fighters in Iraq resisting ISIS forces.<\/p>\n<p>As for the U.S., the\u00a0Wall Street Journal\u00a0reported 120 U.S. airstrikes against ISIS in August with the Obama administration considering expanding those strikes into Syrian territory. Internationally, the German government also took a\u00a0unique step by promising to provide military support to Kurds resisting ISIS, and there are reports that Iran\u2019s government is also concerned about a growing threat from ISIS that could promote future cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, an excerpt from the interview can be found\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wmfe.org\/video-appears-to-show-beheading-of-u-s-journalist-by-isis\/#story\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The release of a video showing the murder of American journalist and former UCF student Steven Sotloff has demanded attention globally.
