Kissinger is right. He is always damn right. He knows where the money is and he doesn't care about the bodycount. Hehehehehe. Kissinger of course knows very well what the Balkans war is all about and why it happened. He has his hands until elbows involved in making of Yugoslav disaster. This is precisely why he finds it necessary to continue to obfuscate the truth. Since it is obvious that both ethnic and relligious differences are just a cover up fir real reasons for this war (which are as it is nicely put here - pilage and power - as they are usual prime suspects for ANY war anywhere), it would be interesting to know why Kissinger now *insists* that religion plays bigger role than ethnicity? This primarily serves to undermine Bosnian Muslims - because the "same ethnic stock" theory was promoted both by Serbs and Croats in Bosnia denying legitimacy to Bosniacs. Some Serbs also favor this approach because they'd like to claim that Yugoslavs were all Serbs just of different religions, which has no historic evidence. Blame it on damn Vatican and bloody Turks. Kissinger is a wise guy, so he probably gains something from that approach. Let us see how this flies with the Balkan power players: Milosevic - he would endorse it, because if all Yugoslavs are of same ethnic stock, most logical would be that they are all of the majority ethnic stock - which is Serbian. Tudjman - he would have problems with that because he tries to prrove that Croats are separate ethnic stock, but he would endorse it in Bosnia where he would like to prove that Muslims are islamicized Croats (the flower of Croatian nation, as Croat nationalists use to say). Izetbegovic - well, he'd be against it, but who asks for an opinion of a statesman whose state is run by multi-national occupying force? So, as always, Kissinger plays his stakes wisely and with a clear vision of the profit he can make out of a region.

The war wasn't about religion nor ethnicity, it was about pilage and power.
