This is not a minor offer from President Putin of Russia. It is not likely he will repeat it.

Mr. Snowden should take this offer seriously and begin his life over. He is young with a promising future. 

He will have a life there. As a matter of fact Moscow can be a very exciting city.

But, the future he has in the USA is very dim and limited. All President Putin asks is for Mr. Snowden to stop exhibiting hostility toward the USA. That is not an unreasonable a request. I would not ignore the President of Russia. 

Families can travel to Russia. The future is not a terrible reality. There will be a learning curve, but, it won't be different than Ecuador or Iceland or Hong Kong. Mr. Snowden needs to put his conscience to rest and realize he has done all he can to educate the people of his homeland. He needs to turn a page in his life and get on with it.
