A very nice response from the Latvian Ambassador's office:

Dear (Hawkmoon),

Thank you very much for your letter. I apologize that I could not
respond earlier due to the visit of our President Mrs. Vaira Vike-Freiberga.

Our Embassy staff and I personally were pleasantly surprised to receive
so many letters and phone calls recently. Frankly speaking, we did not
expect such a great support from Americans. It gives us confidence that
Latvian - American partnership is on the right track and that the work we are
doing here and back home in Latvia is appreciated.

Well, it was only 12 years ago when Latvia and other two Baltic States
-
Estonia and Lithuania were looking to west for American support for our
freedom from Soviet tyranny.

Today, we feel it is our duty to join the Unites States of America to
help other oppressed nations such as Iraqi people, who have suffered so long
under Sadam Husein's regime.

Thank you again for showing interest in Latvia. I have forwarded your
email to President's Vaira Vike-Freiberga office, and let me assure you that
your support for Latvia is very much appreciated.

If you ever feel that you need our advice on visiting Latvia, or
learning more about our culture and history, or you have any other question
about Latvia, please do not hesitate to contact our embassy again.

Sincerely Yours,
Aivis Ronis
