It's okay if you're "us"

This is the sort of bullshit we decried Iran for in 1979 and feared the Soviets would do for years? So it's okay if Great Britain threatens to do so?
Britain on Wednesday warned Ecuador that it could raid its London embassy if Quito does not hand over WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who has been taking refuge at the mission since mid-June.
These threats have not worked and this morning Assange was granted asylum this morning, but that hasn't stopped the Cameron government from threatening to go full Revolutionary Guard:
Britain will carry out its "binding obligation" to extradite Assange to Sweden in spite of Ecuador's decision, a spokesperson for the FCO has said.

That would be an act of war. I cannot believe the English people would tolerate such an act within English borders.
