It is so pleasant to me to hear you plan to visit out country. And of course a man like yourself would not do so idly on a holiday with no purpose. To be acquiring a new skill is always to be admired, and let us just hope you never have to use it in anger, as I think the English say.</p> <p>As for the comments of the Russian military although he is correct in his facts he has omitted many others, no doubt from shame at the brutal oppression of our proud peoples which his weapons helped to enforce.</p> <p>And had SEG suffered under such imperialist rule then I think she would soon change her tune. I cannot believe she could be a fellow countrywoman of mine!</p> <p>So please come to our fine country and learn this new skill and I should personally wish to welcome you!</p> My aim is true tag:eclectic.me,2008-11-19:/id/134//comment_333 2008-11-19T03:14:34+00:00 2008-11-18T22:42:36+00:00 Lieutenant General Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov <p>Comrade, how dare you suggest that I am Lithuanian? I was born in the southern Altai area of Russia in 1919. The guns which I designed did not originate in Lithuania, although I understand that bourgeois imperialist tourists can visit that former part of the glorious Soviet Union in order to fire them for frivolous decadent enjoyment. I curse you and insist that you correct this scurrilous western error. I still have access to my inventions, you know.</p> <p>Yours in peace, Lieutenant General Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov</p> My aim is true tag:eclectic.me,2008-11-18:/id/134//comment_329 2008-11-18T22:09:30+00:00 2008-11-18T22:00:16+00:00 SEG <p>Anton, I wish you could put your weapon down and find a more peaceful hobby. The world would be a much safer place without so many guns and rifles easily obtainable. How can you possibly admire a Kalashnikov which can kill an entire village in 10 minutes? All I can hope for is that you will be so taken in by Lithuania and all the sightseeing to be done that you won't have time for the shooting practice...</p>
