Hitler had a point. Julius Caesar--whose name, in it's more modern versions "Kaisar" and "Tsar", still means greatness--and Alexander of Macedonia--whom the world persists in referring to as "The Great"--were dispicable tyrants.

I do like the Mongolian version of the pony express though.

Julius Caesar and Alexander the Great were NOT despicable tyrants. Especially Caesar. Caesar treated those the Empire ruled with great mercy. There were many times when large parts of the Empire could have easily left Roman influence - but didn't - because being part of the Roman economy that Caesar - the great administrator and conquerer, built largely by himself. Julius Caesar is a hero of the western world and should be treated as such. The Roman Empire was one of the greatest things that ever happened to Europe, and without Caesar, there's a good chance its golden days would never have been.
