The Belgian government commented on the situation a few days ago, saying that they will take "certain measures" if it turns out to be cyber espionage.
As a Belgian and a heavy user of a lot of American online services, I actually hope it doesn't turn out to be the NSA. I really don't want Belgium to become the next Iran or China and some websites are already DNS-blocked here (thepiratebay for one).
Something needs to be done to make the internet open and secure again, or the internet will soon have geographical borders. The problem is we can't do much, it's up to you, Americans, to tell your government to get its shit back together.
