Why can't they try to rescue these people? It doesn't seem like they are even trying to do anything, the governments just say "we won't cooperate with terrorists" and so sorry to the poor people about to be murdered.

One of those men they beheaded was from where I grew up. I'd seen him around town, he'd let me ahead of him in line at the store cause I only had a few things, and then to see him on the news as the sickos are about to kill him....
