To break down part of the story of Jesus into basic, common-day terms, we can say: Jesus opposed the will of the state and was executed as a result. He became a martyr and christans have been worshiping him ever since. One can also argue that people have been killing in his name for over 2000 years now.
Now, today, we have Saddam Hussein, who has opposed the will of the state and is now due to be executed as a result.
Will he become a martyr to his supporters and be worshiped?
Will people continue to kill in his name for 2000 years to come?
PS - Don't be offended by my comparison here. I think Hussein is a bad man and deserves whatever comes his way. I never saw Jesus in action - but I imagine his motives were good. But that's not the question...
