Viewer Feedback
The Fall of Berlin Wall’s discussion with former U.S. Secretary of State at time of Berlin Wall fell, James Baker and President, Nixon Center Dimiti Simes generated heart-felt and philosophical comments from most viewers. Some viewers commented “It’s funny that we are talking about a wall that was brought down 20 years ago yet we are still erecting new ones across the globe: America and Mexico, Israel and Palestine, North Korea and South Korea.” Other viewers questioned the human intentions “behind these acts.” Do you agree or disagree with the stance the majority of viewers took regarding this historic issue? We would like to know.

CNN MAILBOX:
- Yesterday's show proved very clearly how nations develop different views on history. Listening to you and your panel, one could get the impression that the fall of the iron curtain was the mere consequence of a line dropped by Reagan and the genius leadership of the United States: A very simplistic view that does not comply with the state of knowlegde of today's historiography. You totally forgot to mention that communism in fact collapsed from within and that it was the people in Poland, then Hungary, then in Eastern Germany who exerted so much pressure on the regimes that they finally stepped back. This goes especially for the so called emigration movment, which was among the key driving forces in the process. Plus, it is worty to note that is was again the people of Eastern Germany and then the German chancellor, Helmut Kohl, who initiated the unification, and not the US government, as Secretary Baker suggested. The fall of the Berlin wall and the end of the cold war was a very complicated process factored by multiple developments and players. If you reduce it to he interaction of diplomats you will not get the whole picture.

Christiane & Kareem
Christiane's producer, Meghan: "It was really hard to go over today's clips between me, Christiane, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Deepak Chopra and Heidi Collins all jammed into the little makeup room just now. That Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is really tall."

On AMANPOUR. tonight, Christiane will be interviewing former British prime minister, and now Middle East peace envoy, Tony Blair, about the breakdown of the peace process and how it may be possible to resume negotiations. Noted author and theologian Karen Armstrong will also join us to preview the International Charter for Compassion, debuting Nov. 12 worldwide. The Charter is a global initiative bringing together all faiths to redefine the golden rule: “Treat others as you wish to be treated”. Christiane will pose to both her and Rabbi David Saperstein questions about how this religious reinvigoration will impact modern moral dilemmas. There’s plenty of other international news this morning. Here are some perspectives on some other stories making news that resonate way beyond the headlines.

KOREAN PENINSULA – will new naval skirmish be followed by more clashes?
– Navies of North and South Korea exchange fire in disputed waters along western coast
– It was first naval clash between the two countries in seven years
– South Korea: its navy opened fire after a N. Korean ship crossed the demarcation line and ignored warnings to turn back. N. Korean ship damaged. No S. Korean casualties
– North Korea: South guilty of a “provocation” while a patrol boat was on “routine guard”. No word on N. Korean casualties, if any
QUESTION: What impact, if any, will this clash have on possibility of new talks on North Korea’s nuclear weapons program?
