Thread:Comments:Edward Snowden in talks to return to United States/How wise?/reply (2)

I know someone who, visiting England a few years after WWII, heard from a Londoner about what it was like in London during the Blitz and asked why they'd stayed in London if it was so bad. They were (so they recounted to me) immediately aware of having said something wrong. The Londoner's reply was, simply, "It's where we lived."
