- If an American were to write a book of poems entitled--
-
- "Suffering of the Serbs" (or whatever ethnic group you fill in) and sold
- copies of it outside of the FS match, would the State department be calling
- for blood? Tell us Sven, would you be as in favor of locking them up?

- than what Fischer did.
