Well certainly Madeline Albright's obsession with her ethnic heritage and her family's fleeing of persecution in Serbia led her to push for her war (in defiance of the United Nations I might add) against Serbia.

Madeline Albright's obsession with her ethnic heritage and her family's fleeing of persecution in Serbia...

She was born in Czechoslovakia. Her father was the Czech ambassador to Yugoslavia before Czechoslovakia become communist. No one persecuted her or her family in Serbia.

Her ethnic heritage is Jewish (last name Korber -- hardly a Slavic name), born in the former Czechoslovakia. Her family fled to Britain during WWII to avoid being caught by the Nazis in Czechoslovakia (although her grandparents perished in a Nazi concentration camp), and returned after 1945 where her father became his country's ambassador.

When Czechoslovakia became communist dictatorship by force, her family fled to America. She kep her husband's last name.
