"In trying to find out what is at the root of the Kyrgyz-Uzbek animosity, it appears that it primarily stems from a dispute over livestock grazing rights which has escalated."

Forgive me for my ignorance, but I read that statement to mean that you were interested in finding out the root of the problem.

Clearly you are more interested in providing one shallow link and then ignoring the "root" of the problem that you claim to wish to find so as to score a cheap rhetorical point.

No change there then ...
