You got that right. Man, the irony just smacks ya in the face. The Romans who killed thousands of Christians in the Colosseum, all of a sudden get on a freakin high horse about that asshole Saddam Hussein.

Man, this world is just ate the f*ck up.

You're right. How dare people 2,000 years later criticize anyone.

Christians in Rome were not persecuted for being Christian- all religeons were tolerated by the Romans. Christians were persecuted because they behaved a lot like the Ant-War Left in this country. They did not rise for the pledge of allegience, they did not honor state holidays and traditions and they didn't defer to the Emperor. No one knows for sure the exact number of Christian's who were executed and Christian accounts are no doubt exagerated, as pagans are now seen as bloodthirsty and cruel. But that's an argument for another day.
