NSA snooping: Necessary defensive tool, or time for a revolution?

The fleeing man’s whereabouts are unknown. What fate should befall him when he pops up is an open question depending on whom you ask. “Hero. Traitor. Whistle-blower. Spy. What to call NSA Leaker Ed Snowden?” asked ABC News on Monday night. The battle lines are being drawn in the scandal over the National Security Agency (NSA) vacuuming up private information on millions of ordinary, everyday Americans. Unlike most controversies in the nation’s capital, the belligerents in this showdown don’t fall into predictable partisan camps.

Liberal California Sen. Dianne Feinstein sounds outright hawkish when she declares of Mr. Snowden that, “What he did was an act of treason,” and insists of the NSA activities, “It’s called protecting America.” This is novel positioning for a senior member of her party. In recent decades, Democrats have typically defended those who divulged government secrets at the expense of defense and intelligence operations, and that is still – for the most part – true. Today, however, the lion’s share of overt intra-party division on the leaking issue is on the Republican side of the aisle.

Soon after we fail to come to the aid of Israel.

I dunno if we cease to be relevant because we fail to come to the aid of Israel, or if we fail to come to the aid of Israel because we've already ceased to be relevant.

I do know that on this trajectory "we" (that is to say "obama") WON'T come to the aid of Israel.

Keep on remembering ... Jesus give us clues. Jesus gives me no clues ... Jesus give us all clues.

Even an agnostic such as myself can get a clue.

The way I understand it is, there is an initial battle involving Israel and its neighbors. Mystery Babylon (which I believe may be the US) fails to come to Israel's aid.

Damascus is destroyed, Israel suffers massive loses. Mystery Babylon has it's "City(ies)" (not too sure the extent) destroyed in a day / hour . The world rejoices (kinda sounds like DC).

Israel is forced into a peace with the remaining powers, which doesn't work out well and Israel is forced into a final battle at which the almighty sends his army to the rescue.

Something like that, IMO. Many other theories floating around though. Petty obvious major changes for the entire world are coming and soon.

Not quite, but I am on your side and will fight and if need be, die with you. Or who knows? We might yet prevail.

Revolution, hot or cold.

Only if they are in obama’s side!

Sadly, it’s more like revolution, tepid.

There are many, as it spans both old and new testaments. It would take some time to put together, chronologically.
