I read the Pope has canonized over 400 people, more than his four predecessors put together.

Mother Teresa is a worthy candidate for sainthood. But the last Emperor of the Austro-Hungrian Empire? A country both the UK and the US were at war with at the time?

It's time for Americans to face up to the fact that we had no business being at war with Austria-Hungary and Germany. American intervention in World War I paved the way for Nazism and World War II. The despicable Woodrow Wilson, in my opinion the most destructive of all U.S. presidents, was a fraud and a liar who got re-elected on the slogan "He kept us out of war" and promptly got us in.

As stck's post illustrates, Charles I was a good man who fully deserves this honor.

So what? Karl had nothing to do with starting the war, and tried as hard as he could to end it.
