Someone disagrees with you so you act like a child and tell them they're bringing the "quality down" on HN? Tip: If you want people to take you seriously, act like an adult.

It's not countries but spying agencies that need to justify their existence now that the cold war is over. Or governments.
But I sincerely doubt that worldwide a national referendum about "should we use our resources and power to spy on other countries and try to control foreign government" would get close to a majority of yes in most countries around the world apart maybe in the US and north korea and maybe a few others. And even for the US I'm not so sure.
