If ever allowed, I'm sure Ecuador would find many benefits to taking the war on drugs to the source.
It's a matter of national security to Ecuador to squash the drug trade at the source, and if they can eliminate the demand, they can eliminate the drug trade. It'll be a long hard slog, but if we let them try, surely they can wipe out drug use in the United States.
Many Americans will undoubtedly end up in jail for their part in the drug trade, but letting the Ecuadorian military operate on our soil is of paramount importance to the national security of Ecuador, all Andean countries in general, and of course, our own.
When is the CIA going to assassinate him?
President Correa actually survived a coup attempt last year by his own police force, who were (if I recall correctly) upset that he was cutting their benefits.
If the CIA didn't attach itself to that, we can be pretty sure that they have no intention of assassinating the guy.
It's funny to imagine, but we might be past the point of assassinating Latin American Presidents just cause they gave us lip.
