Thomas Jefferson thought that the best insurance against future tyrannies was an educated populace. Historical ignorance is a petri dish that grows a lot of strange and destructive ideas. To wit: Silvio Berlusconi. Former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi triggered outrage from Italy's political left on Sunday with...
