...most of you forget that those kinds of programs wouldn't have taken any place if it wasn't for the external politics and fu$$$$up tactics that US unfortunately undertakes. Their relations with most of countries are based on "what can I get from them" and if there is nothing, they aren't even on their prey schedule. There are some countries in the world like Switzerland that always tired to be neutral and don't have much to offer and are left alone by bigUS. Let's not forget that to maintain 300 mln+ people requires resources and to maintain relative internal peace you have to give a little (to it's people, to appease potential outburst from stupefied fierce dog). So all that spying stuff in a legitimate response provoked by nothing else than a fu$$$$up politics that leads always to be on the look out from some violated parties. Some just passively agree with abusive treatment, others don't. Violence is never the answer, I agree. People should have basic security. But those people pay for the actions taken by their own gov. elected by them - the people of US (political alphabets who are always getting manipulated and brainwashed 3 moths after elections).
