Moments ago I watched live coverage as Lech Walesa push over the first of about 1000 dominoes, symbolizing the fall of the Berlin Wall. How appropriate it was to for him to the one to start the dominoes falling again.
Twenty years on and it's hard to imagine how different our world views were back then. Now the EU and NATO reach all the way from the Atlantic to the borders of Russia. Russia is no long isolated and seen as the Evil Empire.
But lets' not forget the walls that still exist. The blast walls in Baghdad and Fallujah. The walls separating Jews and Muslims in Palestine. The walls of hatred and intolerance separating races, nations, religions, sexes, political philosophies.
Let all the walls come tumbling down. (Pardon the idealism.. it's a feel good moment )
Oh now they are saying Gorby is going to push over a set of dominoes. Great.
