Here's how readers responded to the statement below

President Obama should have taken a stronger approach to the potential threat of ISIS to the United States.

Stronger is not necessarily effective. Effectiveness requires information and deliberation. I welcome the president's "sitting" with reliable sources' information and thinking through the best action.

Jacqueline Poppalardo, Voorhees

He's damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't. Give the man a break! He'll take care of biz when he sees fit!

|Carol Phipps, Philadelphia

No! Assure a domestic energy supply (no exports), maximize intelligence, and let the Sunni and Shia sort out their 4,000-year war.

|Joseph Gunder, Norristown

We're not the arbiters of the world. Bravo to Obama for encouraging a coalition of countries to respond. We shouldn't have to do it alone!

|Marlene Kaplan, Voorhees

As admirable as generosity can be, especially for a rich, public figure, parsimony by one is both unbecoming and revealing.

|John F. Evans Jr., Sea Isle City

I believe the president is taking a reasoned, sensible approach. No neocon rush to war this time.

|Stephen Smith, Burlington

Thirteen years of "war on terror" resulted in more terror groups with more members. Obama continues to pursue a failed policy.

|Gary King, Philadelphia
