As hundreds of outraged leftist students screamed, shouted and threw objects and paint bombs, the World CARP members gathered near Checkpoint Charlie where Hyo Jin Moon delivered a stirring speech, similar in spirit to one given by U.S. President Ronald Reagan "Come on Mr. Gorbachev," he said, "be the righteous man you claim to be and tear down this wall!"
