The Glorious American Justice system!

[Husar]

Okay, then who is the leader if not us?

Noone. The UN was supposed to take a leading function among nations but nationalistic interests of the strongest nations at the time resulting in veto powers ruined it.

I sense someone's precious feeling being hurt. Everybody spies. We're no different from anyone else in that sense. As for why anyone would follow us, I don't know, some do it to save money on defense budget, others do it because our interests align. Can you speak for everyone?

Does the government always speak for everyone?
How do you know my feelings are hurt? Do you work for the NSA or are you just trying to mock me?

Everybody spies but not everybody spies on friends and foes alike and not every population is willing to tolerate it.
It's just a cheap excuse that ignores the scale at which some nations do it and the fact that everybody doing something bad does not make it good.
