RIP to both of them and prayers to their family and friends.

Now I wonder if Obama will actually act.
That's just not a rational approach to this if what you value is American lives. The only way to deal with this issue is a major international occupation of the Middle East in a long-term, multi-decade, nationbuilding capacity. Nothing short of that is going to amount to a hill of beans.

So unless you think spending thousands of lives of our young people and those from other countries who might pitch in, there are no half-measures which are going to fix what's wrong over there.
