A huge applause to her for staying strong, and standing up for her thoughts and feelings, and not be tempted to kiss ass, or worry about what others think!!!

Angelina Jolie has penned an op-ed titled "Staying to Help in Iraq" for the Washington Post, arguing for an increase in the "financial and material assistance" going to Iraq.
"My visit [to Iraq] left me even more deeply convinced that we not only have a moral obligation to help displaced Iraqi families, but also a serious, long-term, national security interest in ending this crisis," she wrote.
"Today's humanitarian crisis in Iraq -- and the potential consequences for our national security -- are great. Can the United States afford to gamble that 4 million or more poor and displaced people, in the heart of Middle East, won't explode in violent desperation, sending the whole region into further disorder?"
A pregnant Jolie joined U.S. Military in central Baghdad's heavily-fortified Green Zone on earlier this month.

Are you crazy? Angelina telling ME and all of US that we have a "deep moral obligation?!?!" Does anybody else notice the BILLION DOLLAR homes her and brad keep buying up? I'm sorry. I don't make it known to everybody when I donate a sum of money. And I refuse to listen to this hag! What a giant hypocrite? Loons, are you still buying this sh*t?
I was going to vote for Hillary Clinton until I saw this very important thing on YOUTUBE. Apparently Hillary is facing a Campaign Finance Fraud case in court in california. Appanretly she had a man named Peter Paul do a fund rasing event for her Senator election campaign, and lied about knowing him, or receiving $1.2 millions in campaign financing from him. She also filed documents with the FCC, and did not report the 1.2 miilon dollars she had received, WHICH IS A FELONY. When it was decovered what she has done, and that she had committed fraud, she lied about it, and said that she has never met peter Paul, even though there is VIDEO evidence, and PHONE CALL evidence, and letters as evidence which Peter Paul has of their meeting and numerous communication between them, and him. The YOUTUBE VIDEO IS CALLED - "WHAT HILLARY CLINTON DOES NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW".
Hillary Clinton currenlty has this fraud case in the Courts in California, yet the press is keeping silent about it, see the proof for yourself. Everyone must know this before they vote, Hillary with yet another fraud case pending will NOT become president! DON'T WASTE YOUR VOTE. WATCH THE YOUTUBE VIDEO, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION!!
Angelina is an adulterous W H O R E!
you can tell what's happened with society when some ignorant who can't even put a sentence together is pretending to be an editor. joke!!!!!!
Anyone who thinks that Jen's side of the story is the only one is gullible. There are three sides to the break-up story. All three played their part. Jen was too obsessed with building her precious movie career (as if $1 million per Friends episode weren't enough-and that is a ballpark figure), Brad should have been a man and asked for a divorce properly before running off with another woman, and Angie should have had the decency to hold out on Brad until the divorce was final and THEN move in on him. Jen needs to get over it and move on with her life, and about all I can say for Brad and Angelina is, well, they deserve each other.
"if you don't know what its like to not have any money and know that the government is helping you out one bit"
THINK?! Think what YOU are saying. That argument goes both ways. It is ironic that you want to portray ourself as someone who knows something about, "not having any money and a government that's not helping you out," to make that a case for helping the US first. Problem is, that is EXACTLY the problem faced by Iraqis as a result of our actions. So in reality that point is not a determining factor for picking one or the other as it exists in both countries. The only thing you have is that you'd prefer to "help out your own first " before a "stranger."
Way to go the good old USA! Good Samaritan by image to the world but when things go sour as a result of it's own actions in the world, proving too costly for it, then "you're on your own kids." It's brilliant the US make doodoo in the world, but they can't take the responsibility that comes with it.
Honestly, she's just highlighting the Iraqi refugees like someone would highlight Darfur and Chad refugees. It's not her fault the humanitarian point of view lines up with the unfavored stance on Iraq in this election. If you get anything out of this article it's that the Iraqi problem shouldn't be forgotten. And that humanitarian assistance is important.
It's always easy to hate on someone and call them names and whatnot but look at the bigger picture with this woman. She puts so many issues out there in the public because of all the charity that she does. Whether you like her or not you should at least respect her for standing up and helping rather than sitting back with her money and spending it on frivolous things liek most celebs do. it's alwasy easier to write a check and not get involved. Angelina is extremely intelligent and researches before opening her mouth. She puts herself in the situation by visiting these areas and speaking to those that are there whether it be in Africa, Iraq, Cambodia etc. She does more humanitarian work that any other celeb out there and is the inspiration for many to begin their own humanitarian work. She puts her money where her mouth is and donates large portions of her salary to numerous charities. And yet there are people still talking about her relationships from years ago and other incidents that have no bearing on the person she is now. We all go through our episodes in life, most of us never have to go through them in public though. I respect, admire and appreciate the work that Angelina does for others. I pity the people who cannot see the enormous amount of good she does and instead use immature and ignorant posts against those who do appreciate her. All it ever does is show how pathetic you really are.
I don't agree that we can effect any positive change in Iraq but I do believe it is our responsibility to make sure it is done for our own sense of dignity and for the potential peace of the region but we have to leave for that process to start.
I was aware that US magazine has a jihad out for ill fortune to come to Ms. Jolie but I must say it was a shock to see death wishes towards her published in their comments. I will make certain from now on never to purchase this magazine and complain to any office or salon etc. that provides it in their waiting rooms. Truly despicable.
Angelina Jolie is a joke and anyone who would ask for her political opinion is ridiculous as well. She has her writers, probably her political adviser, who tells her what to say or what to do. This is obvious. I don't care about her personal life and if she is a homewrecker or not, but she should stick to acting or her children and keep out of politics as she is too uneducated. And she shouldn't tell poor people to donate. If she herself would donate 1/3 of her (at least) 70 million dollars, I would fell respect her. Sorry for my "French" English.
12:24 I AGREE WITH YOU 100%. LOVE YOUR POST!! I'VE ALWAYS BEEN ANGIE'S FAN, AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE. NO MATTER WHAT THE HATING PEOPLE SAY, IT WILL NEVER CHANGE MY MIND. TO ME, SHE'S THE EPITOME OF MODERN WOMEN. SHE'S A MOTHER, AN EXCELLENT ACTRESS, AN ACTIVIST, HUMANITARIAN, U.N AMBASSADOR, AND THE FUTURE WIFE OF BRAD PITT. SO MANY ACHIEVEMENTS IN HER SHORT LIFE, SHE WILL DEFINATELY LEAVE A GREAT LEGACY BEHIND
Sure wish they'd credit the real writers of the story ...
Gee, TV girl's face is looking rather coarse and crusty in her declining years. (Her fans call her "beautiful").
Sure Angelina Jolie, do you think life is a walk in the park for most Americans? Or are they a walk in the park for you because you have money? You know you can be stupid and do stupid things when you have money. I think that we need to keep funding here in the states. Look at the money we have already spent in a foreign country! For God sake look at our economy and look at the poverty we have! A mother working 2 jobs to make ends meet or a father doing the same. Look at the price of gas! So if you don't know what the life is like for the common person, than don't make the statement that, My visit [to Iraq] left me even more deeply convinced that we not only have a moral obligation to help displaced Iraqi families, but also a serious, long-term, national security interest in ending this crisis," cause if you don't know what its like to not have any money and know that the government is helping you out one bit, but to see them feed money to piss pot like Iraq, then you would understand. Help people in America out first, before you help someone else. I just wish people would stop covering things up in the United States like every one is in good standing and that we are just everyones hero! Us Americans need a hero!, not them! And Angelina you adopt all the children from other parts of the world, why don't you adopt kids from the states. Im sure they would love to live a wonderfull life in the country they where born in, but instead you adopt foreign kids to give them an oppurtunity that kids that were born here don't have! THINK!
You mean: She got writers to write for her and who know what to write. She is just self-absorbed puppet and most people are sick and tired of her and her hypocrisy. Why can't she just keep her st... mouth shut, and stay at home to take care of her children?
