Empathy.
Mitleid, Mitgefühl. Something like compassion. Dictionary gave me both terms, plus several others.
It's insane to waste public money and service time over this staged affair. Do you know how much money a banker must burn before getting farewelled with a 3 million golden handshake?
Not too much, I assume. 2007 Merrill Lynch'S boss Stanley O'Neill was announcing a quarterly loss of 8 billion, and had to go. To bolster the impact at the bottom of the social ladder a bit, the farewell fee for him was 161 million. US Citigroups loss at that third quarter was 17.5 billion, and thr boss Charles Prince had to go. Instead of a cookie he got 40 million, plus a free bureau, office, secretary, chauffeur for the next couple of years.
I can only recommend: if you want to burn tax money, then do it with style. Do it BIG. Style is all!
Place a complete regiment of paradroppers around the Ecuadorian embassy, keep a fightherwing of Typhoons in reserve, and in case Assange still escapes, hold the Tridents on the ready.
