VIENNA/BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Europeans reacted angrily on Friday to revelations that U.S. authorities had tapped the servers of internet companies for personal data, saying they confirmed their worst fears about American Web giants and showed tighter regulations were needed.
The Washington Post and the Guardian aroused outrage with reports that the National Security Agency (NSA) and FBI had accessed central servers of Google, Facebook and others and gathered millions of phone users' data....
Well, I guess the test has been established. Now, will Obama and friends pass or fail? The tipping point of global totalitarianism nanny-state or the humility of a "democracy" failed...
I, for one, couldn't possibly care less what Euros or anyone thinks of us.
That said, how many times have we read here that other countries don't like us. Boo hoo. Maybe those who think life is one big popularity contest will chime in.
I think we have reached the time to reel in all our security efforts...Lets shut it down boys. lets close down our bases around the world, stand down in Korea, europe...stop all the aid and just let the world crap out.
lets let who ever can, take over the world and we will just build a 30 foot high concrete fence around us mined with nukes and we all live a happy life.
It's two-faced for Obama to be trying to bring down the Syrian government. As bad as it is, using chemicals on it's people like Saddam Hussein did, I think we all know that Obama would use the same chemicals on Americans who tried to stand up against him.
He's too much like the N. Korean dictator for us to go to war with them. Kim Jong Un and Obama are just two peas in a pod, let them arm wrestle or something if they want to prove which one is the tougher dictator.
