perhaps the biggest surprise for me, we saw an cold war europe this clear dividing line between eastern and western europe. this was the warsaw pact over here, this was nato. the fact that russia got left on the periphery -- i mean russia, not the soviet union -- with nato expanding into eastern europe, there is still a dividing line -- just moved eastward. not as an end1989 to the 21st century. so many organizations that dominated the 20th century persisted into the cold war -- into the post-cold war world. when you get to 9/11, you are trying to respond to 9/11 with cold war institutions. if you look at the 9/11 report, the report says one of the reasons the united states was unprepared to deal with 9/11 was because its security institutions were still those formulated to fight the cold war. that is true, but that was also a strategic decision in 1990 to protect ash to perpetuate his institution. see 1989 not so much as an ending because there was so much perpetuation from the 20th century into the 21st. we are living with that awkward juxtaposition between cold war institutions, form

russian troops may enter ukraine in the east nato troops which are being mobilized as we talk in eastern europe would enter perhaps western ukraine across the polish border and then the power of russia and the united states will be eyeball to eyeball and that is the cuban missile crisis and you can remember how close we came to war then so i wouldn't say it's unthinkable i think it's a blip a tory on us today the think about that horrible prospect so we can get our leaders and by the way russia could help here too but it's being driven by moscow by washington now to pull back before it's too late. john you know it's interesting it this is two thousand and fourteen but in one thousand nine hundred fourteen the major power strip themselves into a war this is what stephen's talking about right now when i think that one thousand nine hundred fourteen was fundamentally different in that imperial germany was a remarkably powerful country and i believe it was bent on dominating europe and i believe it was prince will be responsible for the july crisis and world war one. today we're dealing with a russ

means to say the church played an influential role in influencing events than would somebody in eastern europe at this time or even western europe at this time. as mary points out, the church is a social position and the evangelicals who are supporting church movements are -- clandestinely during the '80s in particular, they are driven by a sense of faith. the people whom they are interacting with are using the church most often -- not always -- but most often as a vehicle for organizing in social dissent though not being animated by a desire for religious freedom themselves. it's an important lesson that with the exception of vatican city, the united states is about the most religious country in the world. consequently it makes us more prone to think people around the world, who are more organized by religion, are acting at the same level of passionate faith that so many americans are. >> i'm from marquette university. >> the strongest visual i got from that night was there was an inordinate amount of drinking that went on that night. you can see where they tore down the wall, they were passi
