Abstract: The devastating impact of the 9/11 terror attacks gave the American public a new stock villain: the bearded, wild-eyed Middle Easterner intent on destroying the United States. The stereotype persists more than a decade later, with many Americans unaware that the people of the Middle East hold a wide variety of opinions about the volatile global issues affecting their daily lives. In this program a camera crew takes to the streets of Lahore to ask Pakistanis what they think about U.S. foreign policy, the Taliban, the War on Terror, and the possibility of democracy in Pakistan. "We have conservatives, liberals, and those who are somewhere in between," says a university student. "We are not all AK-47-holding terrorists."
