According to Contactmusic.com, 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."
