Maybe it means that after a little terrorism you start a big war, and sooner than you think ... the rest is Austria.
The collapse of Haider's party is mainly due to an amazing act of political jiu-jitsu, performed by chancellor Schuessel, who just gave them empty space and smiles and not one harsh word in two years, and kept waiting for the overstretch to play out. I am not unimpressed.
