Canada Gets Involved With Islamic State Fight

"Canada Sunday conducted its first airstrikes against Islamic State militants in Iraq, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported. The Canadian Defense Ministry said two CF-18 combat jets dropped laser-guided missiles near Fallujah in a mission that lasted about four hours, the CBC said." wrote Marcy Krieter in the International Business Times. This is a monumental moment for several meanings. First of all this shows the growing involvement of other countries all around the world. Countries like Great Britain, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates have recently become involved in fighting the Islamic State militants. The second reason this development is important is that this conflict is becoming a worldwide conflict; it is not confined to the Middle East any longer. As more countries get involved the stakes get raised a little bit higher, it is almost scary but also exciting thinking about what is going to happen next.
