Excellent point, Donuel. Yes, the Nazis quite unintentionally and very stupidly made the Jews stronger. The Roman persecutions of Christians made the Christians stronger. The Americans and French made the Vietnamese stronger. The Israelis and Palestinians have been mutually making each other stronger for quite some time now. The Americans are doing an incredible job at making Muslim fundamentalism stronger all over the world.

As you say, "What does not kill a people or myth, makes it stronger."

There is no friggin' way the USA will ever succeed in destroying or finally defeating Islam.
