what you're missing (are you american?) is that most countries generally don't make the distinction between their own people and others. laws typically apply to everyone.

- andrewcooke 13y agosure, but when something happens like the recent GCHQ scandal in the uk, people don't get angry because "the english" are being tapped. they get angry because "people" are being tapped. there's not the same enshrined "us v them" attitude that you see so often in american countries. really, it's a thing. americans come off as extremely insular.
