I should think it was especially exciting if you lived there and were able to experience the fall of the wall!

I remember it well. My sis and bil were visiting friends in what was then West Germany when it happened: the excitement!
Angela Merkel referred to the twin significance of the date in her speech before the Brandenburg Gate. Very impressive, the commemorative celebrations, but I’m glad that all the other walls – still shamefully standing – were also remembered.

History seems to have a nasty habit of repeating itself.

Someone once told me that when evil is defeated it dissipates and spreads thinly and is not so powerful. Then it builds up again elsewhere and the cycle repeats.

It is sad, people never seem to learn or is it just that people in power are always seem to end up corrupt?
