Of course not. No one remembers anything about him except that his assassination set off WW I. A Sarajevo amounted to a pimple on a flea's ass. Yet . . . . 15 - 22 million died in the ensuing war.

And now we have the leader of one little pissant country threatening to invade another because of his treatment of a third country that amounts to little or nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Meanwhile, the most powerful nation on earth is ruled -- ruled, not governed -- by a demented ignoramus. And he has the keys to the nuclear arsenal.
