Fall of the Berlin Wall: The 20th anniversary of the moment

[MordechayAriely]

'Berlin wall" was build to keep people desiring freedom inside East Germany.

"The wall in Israel" is build to protect the free Israeli people from Arab terrorist attacks

No terrorism- No wall

[RudeBoyRocket]

That is simply wrong. The people in the GDR surely didn't want no wall to keep their "freedom". Seen ANY comments of eastern german people, i.e. non officials from that time?

When it comes to the Israeli wall: a tragic thing, but I'm surely not the one to judge this.

Just this is to be said: terrorism isn't the unique root of all violence.

Sooner or later, we China will be the Berlin Wall collapsed. And will certainly collapse

Gruesse aus Nordirland! I would like to know from Berliners/ germans what their feelings are about the current situation in Germany. Mein deutch ist nicht so gut aber ich moechte ihre Meinungen zu hoeren.

Great now let's take down the walls in GITMO/GAZA/IRAQ which are 3 times taller than Germany's.

the moral: Communism is shit. everywhere this plague has been people have been humiliated and a*sfu**ed big-time. communist politicians are scum.

[MultiCoyote19]

Gratz Germans.

The biggest relief lies in the fact we were spared the Hasselhoff routine this time round. I'd rather see the wall back up than have to suffer through that agin...

[Cristinact]

I love Berlin, I love its History... thank God it is only remains nowadays

[at72bd]

Congratulations Berlin ; Congratulations East Europe . FREEDOM is not free.

freedom is wonderfull

When the wall fell, all the world knew that planned economies could never bring as much health, wealth and happiness to the people as market economies could.

Soon, even communist China started to implement free market reforms. The result is the fastest improvement of standards of living in China in centuries.

Markets work. Competition and capitalism is better for the poor. Central planning, and govt ownership of business fails.

This lesson needs to be retold to each generation.
