If Ceasar were a modern day leader vs Bush

What would Ceasar be like if he were in the shoes of Bush and Vice Versa?
Interested in what you think the world would be like with Bush in charge of Ancient Rome and Ceasar in charge after Clinton left off. What would the style of government, policy decisions, or reactions to current events?

Well, we would make himself Emporer of the U.S. and probally get Kennedy to assasinate him. Instead of being stabbed, he would just take Ceasar for a ride in his new car. Bush would look good in a toga. He would wage war to benefit the olive oil industry.

Julius Caesar would never have put himself in the position of beginning a war he couldn't win. Rome did not build an Empire on the backs of idiots.

To even mention the two in the same sentence is an insult to Caesar.

Rofl, what an ignorant post!

Caesar would completely demolish the country of Iraq. he would simply wipe out his enemies and enslave the native inhabitants by making Iraq an American Province. He would also use the most efficient means possible, meaning he would send more than enough troops to get the job done.

Interesting......

But it depends on who had world power?

I think Julius Ceasar if he had world power would have taken or would try to take the world over using WMD's or using them as a threat and then he would have ended the world.

really? Do you think that because he would not be able to practice his own style of government or believe that Ceasar did not want an ogranized society? Please elaborate why you think he would be so motivated to do so..

His own style of government. Ceasar was Ceasar that ruthless roman conquer. however i can even imagine the Buch and Ceasar in the same era. its just not realistic.

It's unlikely that Iraqis are going to granted US citizenship anytime soon. Neither are the soldiers going to be given large sections of land when they return home.
