Brown and Foley cases evoke urgency of justice and national security

REACTIONS to the killing of teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and the aftermath of the assassination of United States journalist, James Foley, resound throughout the US and abroad, as watchful eyes focus on the US's international image, strength, and action.
