Lithuanian Independence
Gorbachev has finally set the price of freedom for Lithuania. His price: $33 billion! Shameful! If there exists a right to price freedom, it surely belongs to Lithuania. What price did Josef Stalin and the Red Army pay for taking Lithuania 50 years ago? The only payment made was by the hundreds of thousands of Lithuanians who died at the hands of the Red Army or were forced into labor camps during the years that followed the Soviet-Nazi pact of 1939.
Mr. Gorbachev, are you willing to pay the billions of dollars in restitution to the families of all those innocent people?
