The guys I share an office with are too young to remember the fall of the Berlin Wall, so I just had to tell them to turn on Al Jazeera for a bit. There’s a lot of work left to do in Egypt, but this is a moment that it is deeply valuable to witness for many reasons, including the incredibly personal responses of many news correspondents.
This is now the third or fourth world changer moments that I can clearly remember. And the last bookends the first.
1: Carter getting the Egypt Israel peace accords signed
2: The Challenger disaster
3: Berlin Wall
4: Egypt
Wow. Just, Wow.
