Mr Berlusconi is living proof that there is nothing inherently superior
about western civilisation. The Italian prime minister is a megalomaniac who
has compared himself with Justinian, Napoleon and Jesus, though the public
figure he most resembles is Robert Maxwell.
Mr Berlusconi has twice been convicted of corruption and is again under
investigation. He has welcomed post-fascist and racist parties into his
coalitions.
Unlike other leaders, who are now tackling international money laundering,
Mr Berlusconi (who keeps much of his money in Switzerland) is currently
trying to pass laws to block such efforts. With civilised friends like
these, who needs barbarians?
