20th Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall

I got to go through checkpoint charlie during my senior year of high school with a tour group. I was nervous.

I was glad when the Berlin Wall came down, but pissed that Reagan and his idiot followers kept claiming that it was they who toppled the Soviet Union and who brought down the wall. The wall came down during the Bush administration and Reagan had nothing to do with it. His saying, "Tear down that wall Mr. Gorbachev" was not the reason the wall came down.

It was pretty rough economically in Germany when the wall first came down. But they've recovered nicely since then.
