What a jihadist victory would mean
Dennis Prager highlights consequences of U.S. military leaving Iraq
It will mean the end of the possibility of the rise of a moderate form of Islam for the foreseeable future, perhaps generations. In the Arab/Muslim world, might is revered, and the victorious Islamists will therefore be revered. Moreover, they will have earned the right to claim that they constitute an unstoppable force. If America, the most powerful country in the world, surrenders to them because the Islamists murder fellow Muslims and killed the indescribably tragic but militarily small total of 3,000 soldiers in four years – one-one-hundredth the losses the U.S. experienced in World War II – who in the Muslim world will stand up to them?

You're nothing without credit?
Dave Ramsey dispenses advice on Bible and debt, money markets, rentals
Proverbs 13:12 says, "Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes it is a tree of life." In other words, when you can see something at the end of the tunnel that's not an oncoming train – something that's real light and real hope – you get excited. Think about it.
