While we may disagree to what degree Assange is a douche, we can all agree that he is at least that. More importantly however, if you read the state dept. documents release he has created a massive storm in Latin America, Africa, and South Asia.
Our evaluation of Kim Jong Il, is so accurate as to unsettle all leaders in the area. South Korea has been trying to sell China on allowing the dissolution of North Korea and a reunited Korean peninsula. The incentive? Think of China having both Japan and Korea to trade with, its like having two Canadas. The wikileaks effect? Now the North is very paranoid, the full gravity of the situation has muffled them.
And in Africa well Wikileaks just screwed Zimbabwe in a nation of former colonial subjects, for Mugabe's main opposition leader to be seen negotiating with western powers to force Mugabe out may have given Mugabe grounds to charge Tsvangirai with treason. Justifiably, after all if Sara Palin was caught telling the Chinese they should keep devaluing their currency to force the US to vote for her in 2012 that would be one hell of a story.
