Not from his perspective, such as it is; but it may mean that he ends
up being used, whether he will or no, to make the regime that started
the "ethnic cleansing" look better in the eyes of the world.

   More likely Mr. Fischer is antisocial,
No, I'm antisocial. Fischer is a recluse.

 and the only reason Chinese
   and others haven't been mentioned by him is because his narrow
   focus to the people who is critical of him now.  On the other
   hand, he certainly form his "own" opionions without giving any
   consideration for being "politically correct" which is more
   than I can say for the lot of us.

Watch out, your brush is dripping virtual tar on the virtual floor :-) 

There's at least one Principled Conservative (PC) and two Doctrinaire
Libertarians (DL)[1] out here who, IMO, won't like being called "PC
(definition 1)".

Part of what makes Fischer so hard to deal with is that quite a few
years ago he linked up with a Religious Right organization whose views
are a bit more paranoid than the Birch Society's. Fairly typical of
such groups is the International Communist-Jewish-World Banking-UN-
Trilateral-CFR-etc. Conspiracy rhetoric. This explains his attitude
towards the UN sanctions.

That said, how about we let those who want to post match news here do
it, maybe with titles that start with "Yugo:" or something so that
those who think this exercise of free speech threatens the sovereignty
of the UN, or is treasonous to the New World Order, or whatever (oh,
have I misstated anyone's position? So sorry. I would _never_
intentionally do that [2]), can skip those articles?

What is going to happen to Fischer? He will accept the prize money and
attempt to return home with it (actually if he had any sense he'd have
it deposited in one of the Conspiracy's banks in Switzerland, but see
above). The authorities whose noses have been publically tweaked do
not really have any choice but to bust him at Customs.

I can think of some really strange scenarios for the trial ...

Anyway, I didn't mean to help derail the whole newsgroup, [2] but
I only stopped in here for match news, and instead I find a
talk.politics.rhubarb in progress, and those are *so hard* to resist.




[1] Or should that be "TPFTDL" for "Tiresome Predictable Free-Thinking
Doctrinaire Libertarian"? (Hi, there, Will :-)

[2] Unless 1) for satirical purposes; 2) as a rhetorical gambit, to
provoke an obviously excessive response; or 3) because I think I
can get away with it.
