"Ahmed from America" is my account of visiting countries considered
a threat to the West. The truth behind the news Are we the "Ugly
Americans?" News reports paint a discouraging picture but can't the
average citizen separate the government from the governed? Although
not a journalist but a seasoned traveler turned circumnavigator, I
intend to seek the truth by asking questions. This is a story of
how traveling and listening contributes to better understanding and
empathy for those least understood. The story begins in Eastern
Turkey along the Iraq, Syrian, and Iranian borders where the PKK is
threatening to establish a Kurdish homeland in Turkey. Our next
stops are Syria and Lebanon where we travel to Hezbollah controlled
areas and talk with militants and others to better understand their
intimate thoughts. We met Egyptians, Iranians, and others who
contributed to a better understanding of how the U.S. is viewed
today not just by fanatical fundamentalists but by moderates who
feel forced to realign their political allegiances.
