I watched the fall of the wall on TV. I've come to see it as one of the two defining moments of history during my own life time. The other was the landing on the moon.
The tragedy that was the Third Reich was replaced in the East by the tragedy of the GDR and the wall. Yes, there were some leaders that helped things along, but as the Pope himself said, (paraphrase) "It was like an old rotten tree. All it needed was a tiny shove to topple it." Ultimately it fell to the pressure of millions yearning for freedom. There is still another wall, and the regime that built it is even more evil. And, they are playing with nuclear missiles. North Korea will also fall, in time.
