Tamim Ansary is an Afghan/American. He is a lecturer and author of 2 books, West of Kabul, East of New York and Destiny Disrupted: A History of the World through Islamic Eyes. This presentation, which he delivered in March at the Veterans For Peace NW Regional Conference, has a clarity we seldom get from officials regarding Afghanistan. His first hand familiarity with the subject matter makes a difference. His presentation serves as an insiders briefing into the situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

  • 2 thumbs down. nothing about the truth about 911, just more slaps to the face against Tamim's very relatives that are getting out the truth about just what happened on that day. PLEASE youtube viewers, take a look at my channel and my messages for the world at large......

  • @Pheanx24 the main ideas of his book are that the Muslim world evolved on its own much like ancient China evolved on its own and developed its own culture but unlike China and the East, it was not so susceptible to adapting to Western hegemony.
