Vienna

I was reading " Vienna’s differentness is also used to great effect when advertising seemingly profane things such as its air and water, its forests and river banks. In actual fact, the city offers an exemplary quality of life.
The city is, for example, surprisingly free of dust and smog. Another point in Vienna’s favour is the high degree of security in public places. It is still possible to move around its streets safely, even late at night."

I agree, great city.

But the guide (http://congress2005.fitce.at/ ) also states " The fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989 was a decisive factor in the revitalisation of Vienna.
All at once Vienna was no longer on the periphery of the western world but took on the role of cultural, political and also economic nerve centre linking East and West."

So now I wish to make the argument that the Austrians owe even more to Reagan following on from my rant that Reagan played a huge role in pulling down the Iron Curton.
