More by Joschka Fischer

“/.../I would never shake the hand of a person like the German foreign minister, nor would I let him in my house. He is the prototype of a shameful politician; the one who makes a career as a protester and a friend of the peace, in order to use his official ideals to get a well paid position as a war mongering foreign minister.

“Excuse me, I am not convinced.”

“My name is Mr. Fischer. What’s your name?”
