November 9, 200421 yr Germany probably would be better off if the wall never came down. At any rate, it's quite an amazing site to see the differences between East and West Berlin.

And no I am not twisting the facts. And the allies didn't force all of the central powers into an extremely unfair treaty, only Germany was forced, the three others were given fair punishment. Reagan isn't responsible he said something to Gorbacheav (sp?) big whoop. George Bush says that we will capture Osama has it happened? No. I say there will be world peace. Will I have anything to do with it if it happens? Probably not.
November 11, 200421 yr Beinfest, I was about 2 when the wall fell and I even remember it. Bush was President, but the wall had been cracking since earlier. I remember it falling in the afternoon or early evening and watching on TV as they started breaching it.

I know some and guess what, they don't say Reagan had anything to do with the wall falling. And these are Germans who were at the wall when it fell.
