Then why were *they* killing them -- they smelled funny?
What if: NATO had done nothing -- would the Islamic Jihad had come to Europe -- a lot worse than it is now? WW1 started in Serbia so when you already have a bad reputation.

On June 28, 1914, then, Franz Ferdinand and Sophie were touring Sarajevo in an open car, with surprisingly little security, when Serbian nationalist Nedjelko Cabrinovic threw a bomb at their car; it rolled off the back of the vehicle and wounded an officer and some bystanders. Later that day, on the way to visit the injured officer, the archduke?s procession took a wrong turn at the junction of Appel quay and Franzjosefstrasse, where one of Cabrinovic?s cohorts, 19-year-old Gavrilo Princip, happened to be loitering.
The assassination of Franz-Ferdinand and Sophie set off a rapid chain of events: Austria-Hungary, like many in countries around the world, blamed the Serbian government for the attack and hoped to use the incident as justification for settling the question of Slav nationalism once and for all. As Russia supported Serbia, an Austro-Hungarian declaration of war was delayed until its leaders received assurances from German leader Kaiser Wilhelm that Germany would support their cause in the event of a Russian intervention?which would likely involve Russia?s ally, France, and possibly Britain as well. On July 28, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, and the tenuous peace between Europe?s great powers collapsed. Within a week, Russia, Belgium, France, Great Britain and Serbia had lined up against Austria-Hungary and Germany, and World War I had begun.

Putin will walk away the same way, the same way other heads of state do -- including US Presidents. That's the way shit is. Losers of wars don't usually walk away ... |
