Clinton and the Berlin Wall domino
When the Berlin Wall topples for a second time Monday, more may be laid bare than the inherent weakness of a political system.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the wall, Berliners have erected a wall of giant painted dominoes.
During the evening’s festivities the domino wall will be toppled along several blocks near Brandenburg Gate.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton went to visit the domino sponsored by the U.S. Embassy.
She met with the east Berlin school students and teachers who designed and painted the giant block and pronounced it “very impressive.”
The scene on the domino shows the back of a popular East German car traveling through a wall from darkness into light. Overhead are a rainbow and a white dove of peace.
Clinton said she liked “the light breaking through the dark.”
What if the Clinton visit was the “40th anniversay” of the West. As unstable as the West is at present it would not surprise me to witness the economic collapse of the Western alliance. That is the implication of the term “domino”…
