    he was right. He was an Assassin, his actions sought the greater good.

    As in the Roman Brutus, or some other ambiguous use of the name Brutus?

    If Roman Brutus, sure why not. Killing a guy kind of nuts with power is rarely a bad idea.

    Well according to Dante he shares the most vile part of hell with Judas and Cassius, so yea!!!!
    Edit: That be the most special part of hell reserved for betrayers. ( in Dantes Inferno)

    Well he was neither because to be right you have to do it for the right reasons which he clearly didn't have he wanted to take out Caesar and take control.

    I see what contemporary common people love, and shudder at what I see.

    Sara Palin, Dancing with the Stars, Justin Bieber, Fox News, and McDonalds.

    Well he thought he got away with it, till Octivian came to power and issued that decree or w/e that called all of the guys who killed Ceaser murderers ( up till that point they were pardoned) and enemies of the state. All the battles over it eventually lead him to commit sucicide rather then be captured. So I would say, No he was not that was one litany of bad mistake after mistake on his part, with a cowards way out.
    Edit: Tho a good reminder on how fleeting and trivial power for the sake of power can be.

    He started two civil wars and didnt achieve anything, since the republic wasnt saved anyhow (if wanted to save it and didnt just try to get imperator himself)
    But I guess no one was "right" by todays standards - they were all a bunch of mass murderers and tyrannts^^
