For those who are interested, Mr. Tamim Ansary appeared as a guest on "Conversations with Bill Moyer" tonight on PBS. He confirmed his letter and portrayed an understanding of the Afghanistan situation which is further confirmed by the article referenced in Gavin's post.

The article is quite long and was written in June; long before these tragic events. Since then, the numbers have grown and the brief interview with Mr. Ansary suggests that the "starving statistics" are now approaching 6 million.
There is always more to the world than meets the eye. But never more so than when they are closed.
Regards,
Bob
