The articles states: "The Kremlin also believed it had the tacit permission of the world community to so act. After all, if the West failed to react to the plight of Mr. Khodorkovsky — imagine President Bush imprisoning Bill Gates on tax charges and then nationalizing Microsoft — then Russia could believe that the West would tolerate even more outrageous conduct. For this reason, Mr. Khodorkovsky's legal status is important not only to Russia, but also to Americans and Europeans."

But this is exactly what the communist/socialist Clinton Justice Department through Federal Judge Jackson did to Bill Gates and Microsoft in the 1990s. The case was only set aside when the Republicans took office in 2000.
