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?

This is a story of how traveling and listening contributes to better understanding and empathy for those least understood.

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.
