The Berlin Wall, and the city 30 years later

[longknife]

I saw another article about Berlin being a mirror city. What was on the West, the communists built in the East, often bigger and more garish.

It’s also difficult to realize that it’s been three decades since the wall came down. There has to be an entire generation of Berliners who have no idea of the darkness that covered the city for so long.

The story has 10 interesting photos @ AP PHOTOS: The Berlin Wall, and the city 30 years later

I went over there during the Wall days. Nothing like West Berlin. So weird, I can't find words to describe it. I can't find anything to compare it to.

I ate nothing but salad for three days after getting back to the west. There was no fresh fruit and vegetables.

All I can say is that I hope Americans note well the nations whose people are unwilling to fight to save THEMSELVES.

If they are not, why in the world would we be?

Though I have to say, the British is still good.

I watched a documentary last night on the latest state of the art aircraft carrier ship. Truly amazing.

And I can tell you that a large percentage of our American military would much, much rather defend our southern border than they would go to Europe to fight for our so-called "allies" there

Thirty years on, only the memory of that enthusiasm remains. ‘The anniversary falls into an overall climate, which, to put it mildly, is difficult’, said the SPD’s Matthias Platzek, head of the government commission for the preparation of the anniversary, recently. He spoke of ‘West German-bashing in the east and positive disinterest in the west’. A recent government report seems to support this, stating that 60 per cent of residents in the former East Germany regard themselves as second-class citizens. More than half of them said that reunification has failed.

After the Berlin Wall: whither democracy?
