Interesting thoughts. I would think – in order to reconcile both parties – we should be pushing for bilateral volunteer opportunities (despite the current VISA difficulties). One cannot overstate the importance of international travel and discovery for both sides of the equation – Ugandan, Canadian, Kenyan, American, etc. Perhaps we should be having that argument with our respective governments, rather than one over the inherent values of learning about other people and cultures (which are pretty obvious).
