Our 9-yr-old daughter Sanzari squealed in delight last night when she read on the TV schedule that one of her idols was going to be interviewed that night! Who might that be?
Why, Greg Mortenson, of course, author of Three Cups of Tea and the new Stones into Schools! Sanzari has been a fan every since we found the Young Readers edition of Three Cups of Tea, which she has since read several times! And this interview on Bill Moyers Journal last night only made her want to read the grown-up version of that book, as well as the new one.
Here's the interview:
Afterwards, Sanzari asked why Obama was being so stupid and sending in more soldiers to Afghanistan when Mortenson was showing a different way to ending that war? Why indeed? Why can't we have a surge of Mortensons in that region, instead of more armed forces?
