#1 Montenegro uniquely for the Balkans was an independent state continuosly for 500 years, until it lost its independence in the machinations after WW1. Everywhere else was conquered multiple times, but Montenegro never was.

#2 I say we give 'em some shit first.

Call 'em racists or something. They do have "negro" in their name, after all. Maybe the NCAA would weigh in...

#4 Dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was a big mistake: a marvelous institution that lived cultural pluralism in contrast to today's worldview of decadent multiculturalism.

Anyone out there except yours truly who thinks the U.S. made a major mistake in entering the Great War? (And yes, "The Zimmermann Telegram" was audacious, but threatening the U.S. with a Mexico itself emeshed in a civil war hardly could be taken seriously. The REAL Mexican invasion is occuring now...)

#5 Yep, I like the idea of the Kaiser owning 5 Queen Elzabeth fast battleships, plus assorted olders, makes perfect sense.
