It seems amazing that it is now a quarter of a century since the Berlin Wall was removed. I well remember it going up in 1961 when east-west tensions were high. My dad died a few years before the wall came down and communism collapsed. Had he lived, he would have been amazed. The old certainties went in 1989.
In some ways the world is a now more dangerous and uncertain place. We have to help forge a kinder and fairer world in the 21st century. The future is ours to forge. It won't be easy, but it never was. In many ways we are better able to forge that brave new world now than ever before. It is up to us.
