Julian Assange is a really a hero and a small country like Ecuador protecting him is a real big deal.

I doubt Ecuador is doing it for moral reasons. I'd wager Wikileaks has nasty dirt on Ecuador's leadership.

In international politics no one does anything for moral reason. Do you think US wars in Syria, Iraq or Afghanistan are for moral reasons ?

For example Trump who claims `America first` and wants to deport even legal immigrants suddenly has his breast filled with milk of compassion for Syrians who allegedly died in possibly fake chemical attack ?

Did Hillary Clinton want to assassinate Assange for moral reasons ?

We should focus more on outcomes rather than virtues.

This guy is just the worst houseguest ever.
