However, since we are all human, I guess we all should want Kramnik to have a "fighting chance." Otherwise humans might get "a bad name" out of this match.

Well, it would take more than an "Act of the United Nations General Assembly" to do that! Maybe if you could get all of the top 100 GMs to sign a "declaration" to that effect, maybe something might happen.
