What about human rights? Or do they depend on nationality?

But I bet Fischer won't do it because of his arrogance in wanting to be
right at all cost.

Or maybe he does not want to bend to state terrorism. Which is what is at
work right now. The US is using its power to crush this one individual, and
I fear they will succeed. The US will not gain much love around the world
for this as for other of its more comprehensive terrorist actions.

Fischer will be a victim. He will be sharing the fate of Soviet dissidents.

I wouldnt wonder if he admired these guys who fell victim to the brutal
Soviet regime.
