Ending another Dream!
Please watch all of the video!!!
All around the wall crumbled, and people cheered and sang as if Yəhoshúa himself had played the notes that tumbled those first panels forward into the crowd. (you could almost hear echoes of the shofar) Still others chanted and waved flags, pressing forward through the gaping of concrete with arms outstretched…. as in anticipation of the embraces that awaited them in the multitude of strange arms.
The world watched, and a dream unfolded, giving rise to still more dreams, dreams of peace and hope for a better and safer world. But as is the case with most dreams, the clarity fades in time, It was then… and now is, history.
Just something to think about as the ,world, continues to rebuild it’s walls.
P.S Those were the days
Almost like it never really happened…
Even the Olympics is a tool for politics…

The problem with most dreams, I fear…

“nothing like a stage for acting the part of peace.”
In a world where the youth strives to emulate, indeed the actors and their lines ,play, a most important part.

Stop he screamed…
The soldiers sang on
as the dancers with knives
whirled before red fountains
henry
yet the steps and the song
are both dangerous and familiar.

One big thing that happened between 1989 and now was that the Soviet Union collapsed and broke apart. There is an important segment of the Russian population that views that not as liberation from tyranny but defeat, the culmination of the events of 1989, and Putin appears to be feeding on such sentiments. One telling example of this is the way Stalin is now treated in high school textbooks.
I still don’t think we’re in a new Cold War. It’s more like Putin paid attention to the Iraq War, unfortunately learning the wrong lessons. (Two of my posts on the Causasus on Stoneman’s Corner deal with this, if you’re interested.)

Always interested..
And I agree to a point.. that internal or national perceptions of certain Leaders and their actions often differ in comparison to that of the outside worlds view.( Such is the case in Iraq, concerning Saddam)
