"For while Bush made token gestures towards the UN...the kind of UN resolution he sketched out would be essentially the same as Austria's ultimatum to Serbia in July 1914: written in such a way as to produce rejection, and thereby to lead to war."

I was interested to see that same parallel drawn this time by Anatol Lieven of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington DC, in a piece in The Guardian today, from which that quote comes. Bush as Emperor Franz-Josef? Or maybe Kaiser Bill?
