To think Julian Assange should grow a pair and just go to Sweden?

I know for sure if I was accused of a crime I would want to have my opportunity to defend myself.

I think Assange should just stop weasling around, and go to Sweden now, to put his side of the story to court.

Or am I missing something?

AFAIK the women themselves have withdrawn any complaint against him.
The US wants to try him for leaking documents and hang him.

If the system in Sweden is as bad as someone posting on here who's based in Sweden says it is: no jury, prosecutor in the place where (now withdrawn) incidents (allegedly if ever) took place won't touch the case with a barge pole and they had to get someone who's politically motivated to take it further (even though the women have withdrawn the cases) then yes, I think Julian Assange has indeed got a big pair already and he's being very wise not to pop over to Sweden to be tried unfairly and handed over the the US to be killed.

There's a huge amount riding on Julian Assange being hanged drwan and quartered in the US - officially: he's on their most wanted list for espionage for his WikiLeaks site.
As to whether he is a rapist, I don't think we can ever be sure about that, seeing as the women have withdrawn allegations.

Feel free to tell Assange to sue me.

I'd love to seem him in court.

Speaking the truth isn't libellous. Although I'm sure you know that already.

I have to say the discussion of Assange's "large pair" when he's accused of raping two women is a bit bleurgh.

The Whole Assange Issue just doesnt sit right with me, first the wikileaks then all this far too close together to sit comfortably tbh.

It just seemes like someone somewhere thought 'lets pounce on him now'.

Ah, to be young and naive again :o

It's the young and naive who believe lying rapists are telling the truth. :)
