...overblown. Crimes committed by far-right groups in Germany increased 24% this year, according to the new statistics released this week. But more than 90% of these far-right crimes were non-violent and political in nature, such as displaying swastikas and violating other post-war bans on Nazi propaganda.

Since being elected Italy's Prime Minister in 2001, he has called a German critic "perfect for the part" of a Nazi prison guard, reminisced after a speech to the U.S. Congress about seeing a Playboy calendar in high school and even held up two fingers behind the head of the Spanish Foreign Minister during a photo op. There's also the plastic surgery and hair replacement the 69-year-old billionaire has undergone to help mask the physical toll of his job--which he may well lose when Italians...
