Would you say that Jorg Haider's participation in SS veteran ceremonies comparable to Kuizumi's visit to the shrine? 2. Balkan peace as of today---is it more due to external pressures (U.S., E.U. hopeful, etc.) or really because the two peoples are tired of killing each other? Prof. Bachman: Haider is worse. Koizumi can say that he is honoring all Japanese war dead. The SS is not all German war dead. Peace more externally imposed, though there was some exhaustion, and with the prior results of ethnic cleansing, fewer areas are contested. My conversation with Prof. Bachman:
