I certainly look at things very different than you. History is history. To change one thing would make your entire arguement moot. Caeser spread Roman civilization and Roman ideals which helped formed the basis of our culture. Even during the Dark Ages, Rome was the standard to which all the countries try to replicate. Without Caeser, they would have tried to emmulate somebody else (Persains? Turks? Huns?)

Perhaps they would have formed their own Republics like Rome?
The fact tht something happened because of a Brutal tyrant doesn ot mean his actions were right. For example since Japan attacked us we grew extremely strong during WW2 and after and soon became the sole superpower. Does this make it right for the Japanese to bomb Pearl Harbor, of coruse not (IMO).
