Particularly in Latin America, support has been strong for protecting the country's sovereignty. Politics and Society Wed, 22 Aug 2012 11:29:49 -0500 This is an opportunity to stick a finger in the eye of Uncle Sam. I wish Latin America was as equally united to figuring out out how to provide employment for their poor other than to come to the United States and that Ecuador cared as much for the free speech for Ecuadorians as they are for Julian Assange. Still it was arrogant of the Cameron government to make the threat of storming the embassy and allowing both Ecuador and Assange to feel victimized in the first place. PRI: Public Radio International
