Good Bye and don't let the door hit you on the way out

Well, that is what the US Government could be saying to Bobby Fisher if he goes through with his plans on renouncing his US Citizenship. He is currently being held in Japan while the US is asking for his extradition for traveling to Yugoslavia when it was under international sanctions in 1993. While he is a great chess player, he won't be missed by the vast majority of Americans.

Fischer's distaste for the United States is well-known. In a radio interview, he once praised the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, saying America should be "wiped out."
My only comment is the US should let him go and just insure if he is ever in trouble the 911 call to the US will not be answered.
