I'm glad I lived to see the Wall come down. This event showed me the power of the global media. With technological improvement in communication, it became imposable for the Soviets to control their story. People in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe could see and compare their lives to life in the West. This fed a deepening desire for change.

Most of those that lived on the wrong side of that wall can remember what it was like. There is a new generation now that was born AFTER the wall came down & SOME of them do not have any idea what it was like on EITHER side of that wall, so we will see & hear both sides, those that KNOW & those that THINK they know, but we KNOW the difference from EAST & WEST, don't we? Thank you, "IF" you post it.
