Sorry to go OT so early, but:

Britain threatens to storm Ecuadorian embassy to get Assange

I’m no fan of Assange, but how is this even remotely a non-crazy idea? If Russia, say, decided to raid the US embassy to haul out some guy who pissed off Putin, wouldn’t that more or less be considered an act of war? I don’t get it.

Last I checked, embassies are sovereign soil of the nations who run them. If the Brits bust in there in order to haul Assange out, they will essentially be declaring war on Ecuador.
