Sick and tired of the Snowden fanbase

295. Re your last sentence: If you have a right to live, so do those few, even if it's just one - AND -

it's FISA, the FOREIGN Intelligence Surveillance Act, so this isn't just America, it could involve people such as those providing human intelligence for Foreign Aid, which has been abused in the past, but which could also be reformed as a means of responding to things like outlaws in Mali, or the spike in the rate of increase in drought on the continent of Africa that is expected soon. I'd bet there are other examples, other agencies. Just because the USA should completely cease it's economic and militaristic imperialism, that doesn't mean that it should not help 3rd world countries who need it and Americans and their friends on the ground need to be able to do so as safely as possible. No more murders like that of Ambassador Stevens!

No more nation building either, so no, I'm not in favor of the USA being the policeman/savior of the world, but if we're ever going to get to a place of INTERNATIONAL co-operation on human rights, someone has to work out the means by which that could be possible. Someone must begin that transition and, btw, we do kind of owe people of the world a thing or two, especially those who are in the most need.

And, yes, I know what I just said drives Libertarians like Snowden insane.
