Keith,
Well said brother.
However, just to clarify one piece in your soliloquy on the English and the crucifixion.

Pontius Pilate was a Scot.
His birth name was Hiberieum Pontius Pilatus and he was born the son of a Roman officer garrisoned in Hibernia.

'Ever heard of Pontius Pilate's Bodyguard ? The First Royal Regiment Of Foot - Royal Scots.
One of the oldest regiments in the world (b.1633) and this year being demobbed by Bliar.
Topically, this regiment won several battles against US forces in the war of 1812 whilst at the same time sorting out Napoleon in Europe.
You could say that in those days, WE were the peacekeepers.
