I was born in Lithuania and deeply resent your attack on the Baltic states, and portrayal of the countries as Nazi puppets is very unfortunate and shows how you ignore historical facts..

Nearly one third of my fellow countrymen were tortured and killed by the Soviet Communists under Stalin, including one half of my family members. Many times more people disappeared into Siberia’s forced labor camps under the Soviet Union’s rule than the well documented and publicized Nazi “concentration” camps. The horror that the Soviet Union inflicted upon its’ citizens for all those must be remembered and not glossed over.

President Regan dared to call the Soviet Union an Evil Empire; so to honor today, is beyond my comprehension.

I read your reply to RusIvan and I agree with you. You might find my earlier reply to him on another thread of interest. History is on the side of the Baltic countries, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. The history lesson in my reply to RusIvan applies was specific to Latvia, but pretty much applies to Lithuania and Estonia as well. I was answering his comments to me in #106, same thread. It is #107 here...
