Tens of thousands of Egyptians flood streets to demand Morsi quit:
"Tens of thousands of opponents and supporters of Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi flooded the streets of Cairo on Sunday ahead of competing protests that observers warn could descend into mayhem and bloodshed. Swarms of anti-government demonstrators massed in Tahrir Square, crucible of the 2011 so-called “Arab Spring” uprisings that overthrew autocratic leader Hosni Mubarak." See: http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2...orsi-quit?lite =============================================== Egypt Brotherhood says Cairo HQ under attack: "Anti-government protesters set the national headquarters of the ruling Muslim Brotherhood in Cairo ablaze on Sunday, throwing petrol bombs and exchanging gunfire with guards."

Indeed
The Internet was so rilled up when the U.S accused China of hacking earlier this year. America accused China all kind of funny stuff, including the evil of "Huawei" Then they got "snowed in" and the table is now turned. So the only justification left for the U.S moral superiority is NSA must be doing the spying for your own good. Do I believe China or Russia has a clean hand in the hacking world? Absolutely not. Do I believe America got caught again doing something immoral that it harangue China for? Absolutely.

And that would make some good competition on the market too. Some of the electronics stuff that I own was made in Japan and it's still working very well after all those years. So I expect longevity and quality to go with products made in Japan, even if it's in mass production.

According to WikiLeaks, Snowden also applied for Dutch asylum (among others).
I think he'd be better off not coming here, as I'm sure he'd be sent back to the US as soon as he set foot on Dutch soil, since the government wants to be such good friends with the US and comply with anything they ask, despite knowing they've been spying on us.
