Heh. A lot of US Presidents did have a hand in bringing it about, from Truman and the Berlin Airlift. without which there wouldn't have been a wall in the first place, to JFK's "Ich bin ein Berliner", to of course Reagan. But in the end it came down to a lot of brave people on the scene. We just helped set the stage. Hmmm, along with Khrushchev and Ulbricht in creating the concrete, so to speak, symbol of the evil empire.
