According to Contactmusic.com, actor George Clooney is urging
fellow Americans to travel more outside their country and
experience the complexities of the rest of the world. Clooney
wants Americans to make more effort to learn about alternative
cultures. He believes lack of global understanding is responsible
for international conflict. He says: “Locations inform what
we do as actors. Here we are in Morocco and three times a day a
siren goes off and everyone stops their cars, gets out in the
middle of the street, kneels down and prays. We are dealing with
a passionate belief system and anyone who thinks you can bomb
that ideal out of them needs to travel more. I just wish more
people in our country travelled more. They'd learn a lot
about how hated we are.”
