Former German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer has accepted a teaching gig at Princeton. Starting this fall, he will teach international crisis diplomacy to the next generation of American elites.
The Bush administration didn't much like what Joschka Fischer had to say during the Iraq war. So what will Washington say now that the former German foreign minister is trading his parliament seat for a professor's cap at Princeton? This fall, Fischer will teach the next generation of American elites about international crisis diplomacy at the university.

P.S.
The headlines of the newspaper shown above mean: From the school drop-out to the univercity professor.
Maybe I have to add that my post above is full ouf deep sarcasm. It could be misunderstood as anti-american. This is absolutely not the case. I just find it extremely funny that America is the place that took over Joschka Fischer.
School drop out, and also confidante and fellow-traveller of the Baader-Meinhof Gang.
Apparently the Ivy League universities are in a competition to see who can hire or admit the most offensive person. I wonder how those alumni donations are going?
He was also a sympathiser of Arafat and the Black September. Beside of that he was a staunch America-hater. I wonder that he is allowed to enter your country.
Believe me, in the old days, this jamoke would not have been allowed to darken the doorstep of Ellis Island.
...and a devotee of bath houses, and unique night clubs.
Really??! I did not know that. He was married 4 or 5 times with beautiful young girls, but it is really totally new to me that he is a night club devotee.
Besides I would not care if he has visited (we Europeans do not mess in the private lifes of our politicians), but I care about the damage he left in the trans-atlantic relationship. He was a political nightmare.
In re: nightclubs, etc. I'll be the first to admitt I don't know this for certain. Still and all, if I were a betting woman...

Ah, you don't know what you've missed, my friend.
That pesky thing known as a visa might trip up this project.
Fischer is not a fellow-traveller, but a dedicated communist.
fellow-traveller of the Baader-Meinhof Gang
Was he also the thug who was photographed while beating up on a cop?
Thanks for posting. BTTT.
Former Terrorist at Princeton - I am appalled.
I believe I have read that, yes.
It is interesting to do some Googling and find out what Ion Pacapa, the former head of the Romanian Secret Service has to say about Joschka Fischer and his association with the Revolutionärer Kampf, a terroist group financed through Pacepa's former service.
This Fischer is quite a creature.
I think it is extremely interesting that this photo can not be found on the internet anymore...
Seeing all the elites including the Bush wing all sleep in the same bed and attend the same organizational meetings whatever they would say would only be to deceive the inept.
I don't know much German but I do know French. Your post reminds me of a 1980s article I once read in French. It was essentially a conversation between Fischer and the French writer-philosopher Andre Glucksmann. In it Fischer regretted his lack of higher education and told Glucksmann that he was going to read the works of the great philosophers in alphabetical order. At the time of the interview he said he was reading Aristotle. Glucksmann laughed and moved on to another subject.
