    I hope there is a day when he can be received as an American hero, and not some pariah by the U.S.

        Not sure I agree with that. I know plenty of people who would describe what he did as patriotic, and consider themselves to patriots in the traditional sense.

          All Americans are not blind, but a lot of them are. This is why you see them labelling Snowden as “traitor”.

          Americans in general like a lavish chill life, and leave everything to their government, CFR media and “system”, and thus are risk averse and society validation compliant.
