It also shows that these other countries are willing to go along with the US, and do what they ask.
I mean, in the grand scheme of things, in the end, Snowden himself isn't that big of a deal. What's important is how everyone has been reacting to him. Now countries like France, who are notorious for flipping the middle finger at the US "seemingly" whenever they get the chance, are now showing that when big brother asks sternly, they will indeed fall into line, and do what he says, even over something so small they should be able to keep flipping their finger off at us.
Its infuriating, especially living in the US, having the government's actions reflect on yourself, but having no knowledge, or confidence, in how to fix this system.
