I feel ashamed of my government. They had the chance to stood up for civil rights, show that they are still a democracy. But obviously Germany is not sovereign country anymore, probably has never been since end of WWII.
I as a German feel bad about this as well. I would have loved to see Snowden protected by 'us' from the US...
If someone helps you you help them. Maybe Europe wasnt glad to be told the USA was spying on them.
