Globalism is GREAT!
"Leaders of European nations dismantle border-crossing points" by Judy Dempsey, International Herald Tribune | December 22, 2007
BERLIN - In a ceremony marking the final chapter in the unification of Eastern and Western Europe that began more than 18 years ago, Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany and the leaders of Poland, the Czech Republic, and Portugal yesterday dismantled border-crossing points on a frontier that had symbolized the Cold War divide.
Merkel: "We have one Europe, where passport controls from Sweden to Italy, from Portugal to the Baltic states no longer exist. That is a freedom, a freedom to travel. The schoolchildren of today can experience a normal Europe, something of which our parents and grandparents could only dream."
The weather and the low-key setting were in sharp contrast to those extraordinary, emotional, and often dangerous days leading up to the fall of the Berlin Wall."
Yeah, why didn't they make more about this if they are so proud of it?
What are they hiding, readers?
