I wish we could say that of America in the Twenty-First!

Great Fire of Rome (64 AD)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nero
Quote:The Great Fire of Rome erupted on the night of 18 July to 19 July 64. The fire started at the southeastern end of the Circus Maximus in shops selling flammable goods.

Quote:Tacitus, in one of the earliest non-Christian references to the origins of Christianity, notes that the population searched for a scapegoat and rumors held Nero responsible. To deflect blame, Nero targeted Christians. He ordered Christians to be thrown to dogs, while others were crucified and burned.

You were saying?
