34. No, you don't get it, and don't know why we're screwed.

The NSA surveillance program was aimed at mostly at other countries, remember? Other countries worldwide are grateful that he exposed major spying against their citizens and governments. And all of Europe feels the same way.

Have a look if you doubt it:

We haven't seen any of this in the US press (just as we saw none of the initial scandal when Antisec found 12 million profiles from people worldwide on an FBI computer) but the US is horribly screwed now. And it's not because of Snowden; it's because of our stupid, arrogant intelligence agencies and the Bush and Obama administrations, with a special award for Dick "The Dick" Cheney who was the prime mover behind this surveillance apparatus.

Added on Edit: As evidence of this, did you notice how he "disappeared" somewhere between Moscow and Cuba? That itinerary was a misdirection after our government pulled his passport. You don't do that without help from multiple governments. We're not seeing the guy again. And if you think that's not humiliating to us, you just watch how fast our government tries to change the subject.
