So apparently Germany is pretty pissed, but can one really blame them? I mean think about it, what if your supposed "friend" had records of your conversations with your other friends? It wouldn't really seem like they trust you now would they. And if they don't trust you, how could you trust them?
So why would one do it? Was it out of paranoia that we thought Germany was up to something? Was it that we thought they knew something that we didn't and we couldn't hold our curiosity? Why is every sentence I write down a question?
To me it seems that there was perhaps a bit of paranoia mixed with just a more simple thought that we just wanted to run a check up on our allies to make sure that they were truly our allies. The real problem is how far did we go exactly. It would have been one thing to run spy operations on their military capabilities. However a leader's personal phone calls does seem a bit far. I mean for all we know Merkel could have been on the phone with her husband talking about all the things they were going to do that night. Now imagine if THAT tape got out...............we'd be in serious trouble then.
That tape would be scandalous, because Merkel is not married. A secret husband--now that'd be an interesting scandal.
