the beginning of the cold war with the soviet takeover of eastern europe.a dramatization when churchill said that an iron curtain has descended across europe. he was trying to end the cold war and very efficiently with that speech. people in eastern europe demand the fact that major challenges had been mounted one at time weather in hungary in 1956, and czechoslovakia in 1968, or pollen in 1980-'81. coordination was, however, impossible. even if they manage to meet they had little chance of globalizing populations. they did pad have access to communications that could have provided the possibility of coordinating a simultaneous defiance of soviet imports rulers. the amount of force required to maintain communist power was much less when expectations were low that it was when expectations were aroused. they were very high in hungary in 1956 and if anything did beacon still higher throughout eastern europe. first one country and then another effectively brought with communist rule. the hang darien's also destabilize to the east german regime by allowing east

at the same time talking is very important in the eastern tradition as well. but that should becoming -- but that thought should be coming out of the silence. you cannot stop the violence and -- you cannot stop the silence and then you talk. for us we don't say yes or no or this is right or this is wrong. each one -- nobody knows what is 100% right or 100% on either. when you get angry, it is not knowing whether it is yes or no. maybe a% yes. other people might know 20% yes, the right thing. part of the eastern tradition is trying to understand the other. not pushing my way. if you say you are just, it does not necessarily mean that is so. in eastern thinking because of the war is people believing they know the truth. sometimes it is difficult for me to say what i think. anger may force you to move something but at the same time you should have the mind of loving kindness or loving your neighbor. if you don't have a neighbn ideo love your neighbor -- you need to have something beyond that anger. that is the foundation for me. >> someone is going to bring quest
