'Tear down this wall'
Talk of the Nation, June 12, 2007 · It has been 20 years since President Ronald Reagan stood at the Brandenburg Gate, calling for Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to "tear down this wall." The Berlin Wall speech is remembered as one of the high points of the Reagan presidency, but views differ on its true significance.

But lets not forget when he wanted to fight the Communist in Afghanistan, his administration and later Carter's administration funded the Taliban and the Muslims to fight communism. That is where the birth of militant Islamism started!
In retrospect, I wished they let Afghanistan remained communist, at least the women population would not have suffered and tortured as much as they have since fall of communism.
