Because here in the civilized world I'm considered pretty liberal about most things.
Civilized world? Oh, well...
I at least don't use stereotypes to judge whole countries. By the way, what "part of the world" are you referring to: Italy or Russia?
By the way, you still haven't told me what was wrong about what Snowden and Manning did.
And what do you think about what those guys did to the Bolivian president who was suspected to have Snowden on board? Decades ago doing such a thing to a foreign president would be equal to declaring war.
