#2 "When Mr. Gorbachev came to power in the Soviet Union there were signs and one of the most important signs was that people in the Soviet Union started to talk publicly about reunion of Germany," Staadt states.

Some how always leaving out East Prussia and Silesia in the conversations. So much for the principle of 'right of return'.

#3 One of the greatest victories of all time for human liberty.

"Thank you Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and Pope John Paul II."

Amen to that--and credit for an assist to Gorby. Not because he did anything right. His stated objective was to preserve the USSR and its empire--and we should thank him for failing so spectacularly (albeit unintentionally).

#5 "Civil war in < 5 years" > I'm expectin as early as Year 2012-2013 myself.

* Year 2010-2012 > ISLAMIST IRAN declares it has NUKULAAR = STRATEGIC WEAPS TECHS.
* Year 2012-2020 [2025 maxima] > UNBCONTROLLED NUC/STRATWEAPSTECHS Proliferation to major RADIC ISLAMIST + aligned EXTREMIST MILTERR GRUPPES.
* Year 2020 and beyond > possible GEOPOL "FINAL CONFLICT" bwtn EAST-WEST = ISLAM VS NON-ISLAM, NUCLEARIZED + includ "MUTUAL DESTRUCTION" Scenarios.

* "GREAT GAME" > STRENGTH IS STRENGTH, WEAKNESS IS WEAKNESS, and AMERICA = AMERIKA, the USA = USSA/USR, should not expect either ENEMY, ALLY, ANDOR NON-ALIGNED TO EXPLOIT SAME TO THEIR OWN ADVANTAGE OR AGENDUM, AND AMER'S DETRIMENT.

SUN TZU > "THE ENEMY" IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WEAKNESS [nor strengths] OF YOUR SHIELD + CAMP. DITTO FOR HOW YOU USE YOUR SWORD.

Lest we fergit, 1990's NET > 9-11 + WOT = WAR FOR OWG-NWO espec PRO-US OWG versus ANTI-US OWG, among other.

VARIOUS NET PERTS + POSTERS > YEAR 2020 AND AFTERWARDS > MAPS OF ASIA + WORLD AS WE + OUR PARENTS, ETAL. KNEW IT MAY LOOK COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, + BE SO WITHIN OUR CURR LIFETIME???

#10 In that case, he'll order Israel to 'end the occupation', refuse to meet with Netanyahu (again), bow down to a Saudi king (again)...then he'll play golf and practice his jumpshots.

#11 One issue - the title. The Wall didn't "crumble". We knocked the fucker down by pushing on it until it collapsed.
