Actually I hold the wars were fundamentally Orthodox Christians vs. Muslims. The case of Croatia is special because of the Ustashe connection of Tudjman and the WW II era history. A neo-Ustashe Croatia is as abhorent to Serbs as a neo-Nazi Germany would be to Jews, and for the same reason.

For all the claims of Serbs engaging in 'ethnic cleansing' (a term translated from a Serbo-Croation phrase invented by the Ustashe), The only areas to be 'ethnically cleansed' during the wars were the Serb areas of Croatia, and now evidently Kosovo.

The discovery of an al Qaeda link is not revisionism, but a confirmation of the position taken by the Yugoslav government at the time, on the basis of published works, that Izetbegovic's movement was Islamist.
