I don't think he was saving anyone. Who knows how much information has gotten into terrorist hands that could not try to use that against us. I think he made the US less safe than it was before

But I'm sure you know better than everyone else.
You clearly have run out of things to say because you realize that your points are not valid. So now you are just going to insult me. So how about you just stop posting

Snowden or not, the US will never be safe as long as it keeps messing in the Muslim world, it's as easy as that. The US keeps killing innocent people in Afghanistan, Pakistan etc., so why would terrorists from there, who after all consider themselves fighters for freedom and Islam, care about American civilians? I guess it would help if politicians in Washington stopped looking at the world from the US perspective, except for Americans the world does not revolve around the US. Any child dying in a drone attack in Afghanistan is just as precious as Obama's children.

You said "started a war" and they did.

Now that's funny.
You know nothing about Europe.

The government hands everything to everyone, does it?

Have you considered trying to make sense?

I believe it was the terrorist who pulled us over into that region

You are a great example of how rude most Europeans are. They are like children, I strike down the points you have made, and instead of just walking away like a classy person would do. You turn to insulting my intelligence.

Iraq was never an official declaration of war. The whole western world was wanting war in Iraq because of the intelligence that there were weapons of mass destruction

I voted US, having lived both places. Primarily is because of our size, prosperity, and scenery. Still, I LOVE Europe, and my two stays there have been terrific. I could be quite happy there, it is just a slight difference in some personal preferences.

Nobody in Europe works? Aren't you adorable? Is that anything like the 47% in the US on welfare, food stamps, and other social services? Isn't the US bankrupt as well?
