What strikes me odd is the notion, that I as a foreigner do not have any rights and nearly nobody in your country seems to care (at least so it seems to me). Even the Lavabit-Founder just wants to fight for the "rights of the American people". Don't the American people get it, that what this form of Chauvinism really brings is bringing the world up against your country? Until America recognizes, that it is not the pride of creation, this sentiment will only grow and Americans worldwide will be regarded critically. With every politician, that promotes this chauvinism, being elected, everyone in the US is seen once more as a supporter of these views. Not the best idea in the long term I fear.
