Beware The Ides of March

On this day in history, Julius Caesar was warned by soothsayers to "beware of the Ides of March". Apparently, he did not heed the warning strongly enough as he was stabbed by Marcus Brutus on March 15, 44 BC.  Once again a ruler is taken out because he doesn’t seem to know when it is time to leave.   No one keeps absolute power for long.

Why,  it seems that dictators of old and even dictators and kings of today seem to believe they can rule as long as they want, in as ruthless a manner as their evil minds determine and will never be questioned.  Maybe it is true that history does repeat itself!
