If he's innocent then he should go to Sweden and face the charges against him. What evidence is there that Sweden will be more likey to extradite Assange to the US than Britain? Sweden is a relatively neutral country. Britain is the US strongest ally, bar none.

How can we know that Assange isn't hiding behind these claims of fear of extradition to the US, to avoid facing justice in Sweden?

None of us can know whether he did this or not. Assange should fight his case in court. Ortherwise he is doing exactly what he claims of the conspirators in the west. Using his power to break the rules.

Its deeply ironic that those who complain that Assange charcter is being maligned, in an attempt to subvert his message, are willing to do exactly the same thing to the women making these complaints.

*was a rush to judgment in an attempt to display solidarity with her U.S counterparts - as is her deafening silence in her failure to publicly defend Assange's right to the presumption of innocence.*

Poirot, that is nothing more then your assumption. Personally I see
no reason why our Govt should be fighting with other Govts, just to
satisfy the extremists in our midst.

Philosophically we are indeed reasonably closely aligned with what
the US stands for. Not everything, but quite a bit. Personally
I don't think that Barack Obama is too bad a prez either.

And yes, we are a minion. A mere 20 million out of 6 billion.
Hardly a superpower.

Jewely,

"The Americans protect us? Who are they protecting us from?"

-China mainly, even Indonesia. Without the Americans they would have already invaded us and made us their slaves, in the best case.

"We have to learn from Israel? Bugger that."

-Learn to please the Americans verbally, lick their ego, then go behind their back and do whatever we want.

"Besides, I have no reason to take the Palestinian lands and livelihoods off them."

-No indeed, this is one area where we need no lessons from anybody: we already did so to the native Australians, and much more efficiently.

Squeers: As much as I don't like the Americans, it is better to fall in their hands than the yellows'. Remember Tibet! Remember Tiananmen Square, Remember what they want to do to Taiwan, had the Americans not stopped them. Remember also the conditions in the American quarter of conquered Berlin, compared with the conditions in the soviet quarter.

The Australian army is about the size of the defeated Tibetan army: what could we possibly do if 1,000,000 Chinese soldiers marched in? Do you really believe that if we befriend them they will have any sentiments for us once our ores will become too expensive on the free market?

Am I missing something here? 'Poirot' makes a fair statement about the Australian leadership, then comes these snide remarks about Israel and the US by cowardly people who hide behind quite bizarre 'names'. It's comforting to know that your doctors and therapists allow you into the computer room to try and express yourselves.

Maybe one day, with proper care and treatment, you'll again be allowed to re-enter society at large and put away your deep-seated resentments and you'll know that no-one is jealous or out to get you just because the little voices are talking to you alone. And you'll learn to keep to the subject matter of the discussion.

So if China or Indonesia decided to take over Aussie… we believe the Americans would interfere for any other reason than their own homeland security that they use for interfering with everyone else all over the world?

And if someone like Israel attacked they’d do nothing? If China attacked would they even want to get into it with them?

What do we have here that USA considers worth defending?
