Google should do the same as they do for the US. Currently, they block the roof of the White House, and buildings around it. View


1600 Pennsylvania and see. As you zoom in, at a certain magnification, the roofs are whited out.

Either respect the wishes of those countries and 'mask' their sensitive sites, or don't mask ours.
