> you'll be perfectly fine if it emerged that, oh, Indian intelligence agencies were spying on all US citizens by secretly arm-twisting the IT services companies and BPOs that work for most US corporations and even many govt agencies? Yes. Indian spies do exactly that. IT workers are heavily background checked and audited for precisely this reason. File storage is partitioned and encrypted for precisely this reason. Your entire train of thought is naive and childish. Spying promotes stability and safety. Because you know much of the truth in advance, you can give other countries the benefit of the doubt when surprises occur. Consider what would happen if your retarded dream came true: the U.S. stopped so unfairly spying on the noble, just Indians. Then a nuclear bomb goes off in Kashmir, or some similar unpredictable act of insanity. The U.S. would be forced to assume the worst, go to a high alert status, and begin gearing up for a massive war just in case. Ignorance is suicide.
