Persia was such a wonderful and open culture at one time. It breaks my heart to see such brutality in the name of religion.

I wish I could appeal to the Persian people and their proud history, and tell them that incidents such as this will go down as dark blotches in their history.

Not necessarily. The victors write the history books you know, so if they manage to come out on top it will go down as their crowning moment of glory.

Even if they lose they could come out on top.

Victors write history, but the vanquished ...

if they are crafty ...

write legends.

And then you are in REAL trouble.

The crucifixion of the Christ was only the first step in Christianity's eventual conquest of Rome.

They say it wasn't too bad about 30 year ago, either.
