Tear down this wall!

A great man would have got 96 years old today. One of the best presidents the United States of America ever had - Ronald Reagan. I still remember his speech, held at the Brandenburg Gate 1987.
General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate.
Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate.
Mr. Gorbachev — Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!
He was right, like he was with so many things. It even didn’t took two and a half years and the wall came down, and a better time for Eastern Europa started. And for the Soviet Union, too. A very good one of him, "A Time for Choosing", better known as "The Speech", is today even more actual than ever.
