When I was a school boy a couple of years ago , Joschka Fischer was visiting us at Berlin's Jewish Highschool to have a discussion about the Arab-Israeli conflict. What followed was two hours of intense exchange of arguments between our students – with him moderating in the middle. At the end we all agreed on his proposals.
Never since then have I seen a politician who managed to see both sides to a conflict, understand their fears and their hopes and manage to bridge their gapes.
If he would only had a bigger role in the peace talks back then and if Bush wouldn't have stepped on the breaks so much, I'm sure the conflict wouldn't have escalated as bad as it did since then!
Joschka Fischer was truly a great, yet controversial leader!
