6. The meeting of the Americas condemned Britain's threat, with most countries

united against this kind of breach of diplomacy.

Correa reminded Britain that none of these countries are colonies of the British Empire, they are sovereign countries, this is the 21st Century. I doubt the implication of his remarks was lost on Latin American countries.

They are planning on a conference of the relatively new organization of Latin American states to discuss what can be done to prevent this kind of violation from occurring again.

Hague should be fired. That might appease the rest of the world, because it isn't just Ecuador that felt threatened, every country in the world wondered what would happen if they exercised their right to grant asylum to someone some day and the old Colonialists were not happy about it.

I think they will have to ask him to step down.
