Surely the State Department has real lawbreakers to go after, such as illegal aliens.
I couldn't agree more.
Let the Icelanders have the wacko . Doesn't the USA have much bigger fish to fry ?
Well the reason Mr. Fischer is in detention is that he is an ILLEGAL ALIEN - DUH. By going after him, Japan is doing exactly what you suggest. The U.S. just happens to be his country of origin.
Just look at Martha Stewart wearing an ankle bracelet during her parole while paroled CHILD MOLESTORS wander the countryside wrecking havoc on innocent children and their families nationwide. Something is really wrong with that picture.
That MERE chessplayer is a nutter. But not a criminal of any importance. Did he molest and murder a child? NO! Did he kill a policeman? NO!
WHO really gives a rat's tail what that nut says and where that nut plays the game of chess?????
Not anybody with a real life!!
