Regardless how one feels about Assange, violating international law to get him would just set a terrible precedent. -- nm - ty97 Aug 15, 19:32 17
- Like sending Predator Drones into other countries and whacking people? - Bacon Aug 15, 19:37 14
  - Like Judi Dench said, attacking an embassy is the one absolutely inviolable law of international law. -- nm - Roger More Aug 15, 19:38 1
    - this. YOu can't do that. -- nm - loosilu Aug 15, 20:42

    - Eh, Iran did it to us -- nm - Bacon Aug 15, 19:39 10
      - You're supposed to making your argument, not mine :) -- nm - ty97 Aug 15, 19:41
      - By the way. Don't confuse what I want to happen with what I think should happen. - Bacon Aug 15, 19:40 6
        
        The greatest tests of how strongly we believe in the rule of law is our willingness to apply the same fair rules to those we most dislike. -- nm - ty97 Aug 15, 19:42 5
        
        Do you think it was right to violate Pakistan's sovereignty to kill Osama Bin Laden? -- nm - Bacon Aug 15, 19:47 4
        
        International law isn't really about what's right and wrong - it's about what countries can do, and what they can get away with. - Roger More Aug 15, 19:55 3
        
        International Law is about who you are not what is right and wrong. If you are one of the "good countries" you can do much more. If you aren't in - Bacon Aug 15, 19:58 2
        
        No. If you are one of the powerful countries, you can do much more. -- nm - Roger More Aug 15, 20:01 1
        
        I stand corrected. Yes, replace powerful with "good" -- nm - Bacon Aug 15, 20:02
      - That was a fanatic regime that didn't care about what anyone else thought. Do you really want to make that comparison? -- nm - Roger More Aug 15, 19:40 1
        
        Seems legit. - Beryllium Aug 15, 19:47
- There's no way there will be any storming of the embassy. -- nm - Roger More Aug 15, 19:35 1
  - I do agree it's a almost certainly a show of force, as is the rumor of removing embassy status. - ty97 Aug 15, 19:37
