Give me a break, the UK actually is stating the Ecuador Embassy is not an extension of the sovereign nation of Ecuador. I congratulate Cameron, he makes up the rules as he sees fit.
The UK cannot invade another nation that will not extradite someone, that is an aggression. I doubt the UK wants to initiate hostilities with South America, does it?

LONDON — It is an inviolable diplomatic principle: (click title to entry - thank you) British law and the British police cannot reach inside the embassy of a foreign country.
But Ecuador says British officials have threatened to march in and grab WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange from its London embassy, where he has been holed up in a bid to escape extradition to Sweden over sex crimes allegations....
The UK needs to rethink their aggression against the embassy, because, by carrying out such an aggression changes the relationship it has with every other embassy around the globe. The UK may find their embassies asked to leave or worse if they change the game with Ecuador. It is quickly becoming a larger issue with such aggression against an embassy. There are rules, like it or not the UK has to play by those rules. Assange is not worth changing the entire dynamic of diplomatic relations within their embassies. If Ecuador has no problem giving Julian Assange sanctuary, that needs to be respected with the understanding they have that right as a sovereign nation.
Ecuador is part of a larger community in South America. Both the UK and the demands of the USA need to reassess exactly what their intentions are in this matter. Neither the USA or the UK want to estrange good will with South America and it just might should the UK continue aggressive actions against a benevolent embassy.
