In praise of Mussolini

• Churchill (1927): If I had been an Italian I am sure that I should have been whole-heartedly with Signor Mussolini from the start to finish in his triumphant struggle against the bestial appetites and passions of Leninism.
• Ghandi: he is the saviour of Italy
• Mussolini came out second (afther Edison) in a poll for "greatest man of our time" in Algemeen Handelsblad in 1927.

Now Italy, cradle of fascism, is rallying behind Berlusconi.
