...more example of the difficulty that Germans still have with their history. For much of the period after World War II, both the G.D.R. and West Germany resisted serious examination of their collective culpability for Nazism. In the West, that denial poisoned relations between the generations, infusing Germany's student and counterculture movements with an anger not matched in other countries.

...After arriving in Paris on a whim as a college student in 1984, Wadham married a Frenchman and raised their kids as citoyens français.

Bush attacked Bill Clinton during the 1992 campaign for visiting Moscow as a student, and an old photo of John Kerry with the socialist President of Nicaragua haunted him in 2004. All of which means Obama might have to get used to this...
