Will Jim Foley Have An Unusual Place In U.S. History?

Mr. Foley already has a place in human history.
He has, without meaning to do so, become a martyr to the kinds of truths which can advance humanity in our species.
Additionally, he has become, without meaning to do so, the catalyst for a powerful anger in the
currently most powerful man in the world.
I privately wonder if Putin's fingerprints are on the sudden explosion of money in ISIS coffers.
He can't sell oil in the way he did before.
He loves the bloody bully machine of Bashar al Assad.
Perhaps together they've found underground actors who will buy the oil from ISIS.
Whatever President Obama's anger means, I hope the last thing he will do is put one more piece
of American parts or machinery even so much as a screwdriver within any purview of any part
of ISIL/ISIS.
