It just all seems to be taking too long. And now signs are that Ecuador is somehow trying to negotiate with the UK, Sweden and, astoundingly, the United States. That just doesn't bode well.
Ultimately, whether or not Ecuador grants Assange asylum and thereby prevents him from being eventually tried and possibly even murdered in the United States all rests on the shoulders of one man:
President Rafael Correa of Ecuador: the choice is his.
Now is his chance to provide his small country with a moral stature and impetus that very few countries could ever aspire to have. Now is his chance to make or break the legacy he has tried to build as a populist leader in a region sick to death of the meddling, often deadly machinations by the Yanks up north.
Will Correa be up to it? The coming days and weeks will tell.
President Rafael Correa of Ecuador: he simply must do the right thing.
After all, how many people actually realize that Correa is currently one of the most powerful people in the world?
His destiny and the destiny of his country is also our collective destiny.
Do you get my point?
