Now, that's a truly stupid thing to say.

And you would suggest that it's Israeli Jews who are committing the atrocities? Unbelievable.

Yes, absolutely! The only people anywhere!
More stupidity from Ike.

Most people in that part of the world are used to being treated like shit by their leaders so they expect it. they learn to take the bad with the good and, if Daesh can deliver a little good along the way, people who've had none of that for a quarter century might deserve a little understanding.

That should have been business as usual in Germany, a miracle in Italy.

In fact, too much of a miracle to be true. It was a lie, Fascist propaganda. Italian train service was in shambles after WW1 and, when the Fascists took power, they made a big show of their accomplishments, including the myth about the trains. The improvements to rail service in Italy after the war had been substantial but they had been accomplished under the Italian government immediately preceding Mussolini's.
And the trains still didn't run on time.

I believe a somewhat parallel to that was the autobahn in Germany.

Yes, begun in Weimar Germany, sputtered along until Hitler came to power and then progressed somewhat more rapidly until WW2 when construction essentially stopped, finished after the war.
