I was going to post this for the ides of march, but I was busy that day. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Julius_Caesar]Anyway, on March 15th, during the days of the roman republic, Julius Caesar was assassinated by eight roman senators who feared his growing power and that he would overthrow the republic.[/url] Do you believe Caesar's actions where wrong, and if so, did he deserved to be assassinated?
