I believe that Wellington’s Army had more to do with Napoleon’s demise, and the fact that he chose his ground very carefully which preserved his Army for the final clash.

On a side note, a surprisingly large number of notable leaders within Western Civilization, including Churchill and Obama; have contemplated conversion to Islam at one time or another. I believe that the doctrine of Islam that requires the faithful to submit to the judgment and decisions of the ruler is what they found to be so attractive. What a wonderful world it would be, if only everyone would listen to me.

Despite the recent suggestion that Churchill considered converting to Islam, there is no substantive evidence. He wrote scathingly of Islam and did note that the Arabs allied themselves with England’s Nazi enemies. He seems to have been generally cool on the subject of religion, and it is difficult to envision someone of his sensibilities engaging in the sort of passionate faith a conversion requires.
