Sure, travel does enhance understanding, but the "Gee, if only we'd travel more, everything would be alright" view of the world totally ignores the political, religious, ethnic and economic reasons behind why people do the often bad things they do. Travel won't convert the Taliban. And don't even get me started on his U.N. comments.
