I noticed he has not applied for asylum in Iran. Why not?

Would he be welcomed there?

welcomed, tortured for information, branded a spy and hung or have his brain extracted for info, constantly making tv appearances talking about the great satanic being of Isramerica

Yes, he should probably go in a democratic country

He is a fountain of US classified information - what would the Iranians do to him? or the Russians? or any country that wants US classified information?
He's not really safe anywhere.

Putin publicly has said Snowden is welcome to stay, no cooperation forced/asked whatsoever.

But with one rule - Snowden has to stop any activity that could further damage USA.

omg.  Um, no, Snowden should not seek asylum in Iran.  He should turn himself in to the American authorities and face the machine, if he wants to be a martyr.  If he wants to hide in a cave the national news indicates Venezuela is a top contender. 

You read the newspaper so you must know that Iran is a terrorist country run by terrorists.  I know what comes next "the American's are the terrorists".   Whatev.  Such sentiment comes from jealousy that America is the most powerful nation on earth.  The Iranians need to revolt like the Egyptians are doing.

America is not the terrorist, America funds/hires other terrorists time to time.

America itself is just a big bully.

[Viceroy]

Of course, but you need to realize everyone wants to knock that bully down.  Would you rather we be France?  

* Viceroy thanks France for refusing to let the 'snowden plane to Venezuela' travel through France's air space and forcing them instead to land in Austria.

The best thing to come out of France.

No one here can even say for sure that the guy is even a real person. Probably just more media BS.
