Making a mark on the level of Mandela, a man who spent 25 years in prison. Jimmy Carter lives his Nobel Peace award every day of his life. Mother Teresa gave her life to helping others. Martin Luther King worked to promoted non violence approach, was arrested and served his time in jail. With the actions Snowden has selected has nothing to do with peace or even promoting peace. A few thinks he is a hero but that is not a majority for sure. He has lied and continues to remain on the lam, this does not promote peace.
