The US Secretary of State John Kerry says severalArab countries have offtered to take part in airstrikes against Islamic State militants but any suchaction would be subject to approval from Iraqigovernment. Mr. Kerry said he was extremely encouraged by promises received of militaryassistance against Islamic State.
We have countries in this region, countries outside of this region, in addition to the UnitedStates, all of whom are prepared to engage military assistance in actual strikes and that iswhat requires. And, we also have a growing number of people who are prepared to do all theother things. People should not think about this effort just in terms of strikes. That alone is notgoing to resolve this challenge.
Britain says it will do whatever is necessary to destroy the Islamic State Jihadists who murderedthe British hostage David Haines. The Prime Minister David Cameron said they are not Muslimsbut monsters who must be brought to justice. The militants released a video apparentlyshowing beheading of David Haines, an aid worker kidnapped in Syria 18 months ago.
Queen Elizabeth has made her first public comment on the Scotish referendum onindependence from the United Kingdom. She said she hoped people would think carefullyabout the future when they cast their ballots on Thursday. The BBC's Peter Hams says theremark may please those who opposed Scotish independence but royal officials say it doesn'tbreach the Queen's constitutional impartiality.
What is striking about this comment by the Queen is that it was uttered all. When a well-wisher in the crowd outside the church joked that they were going to mention it in theIndependence Referendum, the 88-year-old monarch, a veteran of countless divisive politicalissues, could have taken their lead and chatted about weather. Instead, she replied, I hopepeople will think very carefully about the future. This wasn't a slip of tongue by the head of theState of United Kingdom, rather a reflection of how seriously she like many others views thesignificance of Thursday's vote.

美国国务卿约翰·克里表示，几个阿拉伯国家提出参加打击伊斯兰国激进分子的空袭活动，但是任何这样的行动都需经过伊拉克政府同意。克里表示，由于这些国家承诺提供军事支持打击伊斯兰国，他倍受鼓舞。
“在这个地区和这个地区之外，除了美国之外，还有许多国家准备好参加军事辅助行动和空袭，这是我们所要求的。也有越来越多的人准备做其他事情。人们不应该仅仅从袭击的角度考虑问题。仅仅依靠袭击不能解决这个挑战。”
英国表示，他们将采取一切必要措施来摧毁伊斯兰国圣战组织。该组织处决了英国人质海恩斯(DavidHaines)。英国首相卡梅伦表示，他们不是穆斯林，而是应该被绳之以法的魔鬼。这些激进分子发布了一段视频，明显显示海恩斯(David Haines)被斩首的过程。海恩斯(David Haines)是一名救援工作者，18个月前在叙利亚被绑架。

女王的言论引人注目的一点是，讲话是掷地有声的。教堂外人群中一名礼拜者开玩笑说，他们在独立公投中会提到这一点。这位88岁高龄的君主，也对无数有分歧的政治话题经验丰富，她应该带领大家一起讨论一下天气。她却回应说，“我希望人们能够认真地考虑未来。”这并不是英国国家元首的口误，而是反映了她和许多其他人一样感受到了周四投票的重要性。
