George Clooney appeared at the showing of his political film “Michael Clayton” for the Dubai Film Festival. He was immediately interviewed by the press who asked him political questions.

Due to the Middle East flavor of the location. In Variety.com it was reported that Darfur, U.S. foreign policy and Hollywood’s depiction of Arabs all came up repeatedly in an energetic hour-long Q&A session.

“We panic at times in our country but what we’re very good at is fixing those panics. We are now in the process of righting some of the mistakes that our country has made over the last few years,” said Clooney. “I am not going to come to Dubai and call the president of the United States a terrorist. That’s not my goal in life.”

Good job George!!
