Arnie and Austria are splitsville...

[Ecthy]

The First World War was started by the Austro-Hungarian empire under their Kaiser.

The Second World War was started by a man from Austria, Hitler, who was in charge of Germany.

Today, Arnold from Austria is on his way into power. What does this mean for the rest of the world?

On the other hand, in both the cases of WWI and WWII, Austria set it off but it took Germany to make a big deal out of it. The better question is why are Germans so impressionable.

Under conservative rule, Germany will follow the US (yes, under Ahnie) into WWdrei

I'm still waiting for the "Napa Winery Putsch."

Well, they don't - but they can be upset with Arnold if they want to. I think the cult of the Terminator is still pretty strong in this country, and I somehow doubt that a few executions is going to change that. Sure, they might be miffed in the short term, but the man is really the only international celebrity that Austria has - and Austria, still suffering from a complex over the fact that it used to lead an enormous empire and is now considered Germany's little brother on the world stage, desperately wants international celebreties. Case in point, Austria's dedication of next year as "Mozart Year." Yes, Mozart Year. The whole year. All of it.

It's his 250th birthday.

Mozart (though I think he's a tad overrated)

No, it's the 250th anniversary of his birth.

Mozart himself died long ago.

Now Arnold is telling them to remove his name from the stadium and not to use his name to promote the city.

I'm just copying Dis's link so he can't deny that he didn't post a link to the very same article that's quoted in the OP.
