Well, many sources and analysts share the idea that, at least, West 
Germany took the pole position from the US at first, forcing the 
latter to build up their own "nationality" on the "Bosnia Muslims", 
because WG -quite naturally- found the Slovenes and Croatians as 
their natural allies in the break up Jugoslavija.  A long tradition 
of the ruling groups in these countries, BTW, if one substitutes 
Vienna for Berlin it dates back to the late Middle Ages.

However, German influence over the Danube Basin as a whole cannot be 
underrated. One of the things that stroke me most strongly when I 
visited Belgrade, in 2001, was that the local petty bourgeoisie, when 
they talked in terms of "international money", made their reference 
to DMarks, not to USDollars.  I am speaking of common people who were 
strongly anti-Milosevic. If _I_ could realize this, it is obvious for 
me that one can count on the US leadership to understand it better.

West Germany, most probably, did not _manipulate_ the USA.  But what 
is for sure is that the USA realized that West Germany was going to 
become the sole winner in the destruction of Jugoslavija.  Thus, they 
changed their original position (keeping the country united under a 
Quisling regime) and made their bet to thorough, murderous, illegal 
and criminal break up with as much bloodshed as possible.  And with 
an American military base in Kossovo.

Thus, among other niceties, they brought al-Qaeda democrats to drill 
the troops of the newly created Muslim "nationality" (more or less as 
if Catholic Germans were christened a nationality...)  And they 
bestowed democracy on the painstriken remains of what once had been a 
unified country, full of hope, with young guardsmen singing 
revolutionary songs along frontiers that were well kept from 
invasions, either from the East or from the West.

There is a legend in Northern Argentina, the "Uturunco" legend.  The 
Uturunco is a monster that kills and eats people, and it is said to 
appear in the woodlands on the mountain slopes, as well as in the 
cane fields.  Like a werewolf, it can assume human figure.  A great 
Argentinean playwright, in a tremendously perceptive vision of the 
immediate future, wrote a play which carried the name "El Uturunco 
estaba entre nosotros", which means "The Uturunco was among us".

There existed an Uturunco among Yugoslavs, and nobody was more aware 
of this than the German bourgeoisie.  In this sense, they did not 
manipulate the US, but they simply worked their way into Jugoslavija 
faster and more thoroughly than the US, thus forcing them into the 
massacre.
