"A Calculating Simulation of the Cold War"
Moscow and Washington locked horns at the Munich Conference on Security over the weekend, and the rhetoric by two former spies -- Vladimir Putin and Robert Gates -- reminds German papers of the bad old days of the Cold War.

Russian President Vladimir Putin used a major annual European security conference in Munich -- sometimes dubbed the Davos of the defense world -to accuse the United States of sowing disorder in the world. He said Washington had sparked a new nuclear arms race, ignored international law, undermined international institutions and bungled the invasion of Iraq. US Defense Secretary Robert Gates gave a measured, icy reply, telling the conference on Sunday, "One Cold War was quite enough."
