Put Snowden under the snow then


         Tibet was a sovereign Buddhist country not long long ago- without proper army, intelligence wing or other facets of governance- and what happened to it, is not hidden to anyone. That America indulges in the espionage of its allies as well adversaries was not an invention-as claimed by Snowden- as it is an integral part of governance. 
                Hubbub on Snowden or Assange makes no sense when you notice the unfathomable expertise and resources USA puts in guarding its ocean of database; personal as well international. And what were the various firewalls(FBI, IB etc) of the data-warehouse doing , when Snowden was busy giving shape to his scheme in the highest-security zone?  A little cogitation on these questions may give a more clear picture to the readers about the case :-
Set-I
Why every country have Intelligence Bureau’s ?
What is the essence of IB’s and what are their prime responsibilities?
What information they wiretap and process ?
From which resources they receive the piece of information and process it-they call intelligence input ?
What is national security ?

Set-II
What is the need of diplomacy?
What it takes to be and sustain as a World Power ?
What is the work of FBI and IB's ?
Why there was no alarming system installed in case of the copying of data by any unauthorized  person ?
What preventive measures were taken after Assange menace ?

         A rightful person is supposed to abide by the declaration of allegiance and honesty to any biz-house before getting started. And it requires best of the behaviour of a person, when the work he/she is indulged in, is so much important that USA’s national security, credibility and diplomacy is at stake,then Snowden must have adhered to the guidelines of his work. And before joining the snooping agency, Snowden was fully aware of the nature of work he was supposed to do.

 Why the whistle-blower has not quit silently and within weeks after becoming au courant of the nature of work of the US agency?- is a big question(some will say that he was planning to leave-no was shaping his design like a perfectionist). He was there to do business and the countries and Snowden only knew about the deals.

The timing of the break out of Snowden imbroglio when America's quest for an explanation and curb on Chinese hacking syndicate was at crescendo; as the last month's America-China presidential summit was centered around it;  indicates that Chinese were aware of the American espionage more or less, and the vociferous demand of Obama got a befitting reply by this disclosure of America's thirst for informations(read eavesdropping).

Leaving out the nuances of this issue -points raised by his disclosures, and reasons of countries refusing him asylum- to the avid thinkers and pundits of the subject(Diplomacy and Security), in my opinion, Snowden has broken the business rules, and USA is absolutely right in blocking his asylum to any country. He must be brought to book and tried under the US law and the Snowden issue will swiftly go into snow then.
