>>on the other hand, be nailed to the cross<< funny: the thesis (the right of a Roman citizen to appeal to the Emperor as the top/next appelate instance) and your antithesis (Christianity and the cross..) both converge on St Paul, who used his right as a Roman citizen of appeal to Caesar to get a free ride to Rome to proselytize some more and who set the whole idea of the cross as a sign of redemption into motion (cf Herculanean myths of those times and similar). But, by now I probably have Ken grimassing horribly: this has nothing to do with US' foreign policy. And him as the originator of the thread. Will ask the admin to strike this from the record;.
