Angelina: Iraq and Roll

Globe-trotting, tattooed do-gooder, Angelina Jolie, swapped the tony Hamptons to visit war torn Iraq. The United Nations Refugee Agency Goodwill Ambassador is in Iraq visiting refugees displaced by the war, and will also visit US troops.
Jolie with the Troops
As reported by People, Jolie arrived in Iraq on Tuesday after visiting Syria on Monday. TMZ contacted the United Nations, who told us that Jolie was traveling sans entourage on her humanitarian mission.

The photo, from OK! Magazine, was sent in by the mother of a US Marine from Denver. It was taken today in Iraq.

The UN was responsible for travel arrangements, and said they wouldn't comment on security measures taken to protect Jolie. Travel arrangements for special ambassadors typically take two weeks to prepare, but in the case of Ange, the agency needed a whole month. Jolie will return to Damascus this evening, then back to Brad and their precious brood.

61. I THINK I FINALLY UNDERSTAND ANGELINA. Her past indicates she is not happy within herself, i.e. cutting, drugs, lifestyle choices. These can be indicators of depression or the need from the rush of the pain inflicted...Angelina is not a saint or honorable person, she is substituting her need for physical pain from the emotional pain of others. Alto she appears to be doing great things she is just self-fulling her desires to feel physical pain. Oh poor Brad what have you gotten yourself into.

I'm very proud that I can say I'm a good mom,,
and not only movie stars adopt kids,,
normal people like myself do too,,
my husband and I are best friends,, and we adore all of our children,,
we adopt children that need a home,, and we are not movie stars!
go figure,, normal people are nice too!!

geezz takes a real idiot to think everyday people cannot adopt children and be happy parents ,,
not all husbands cheat,,
some people actually love each other and do not steal other's husbands or wives
not everyone is a HO

64. jennzz is a freaky dink. Google her and see all her responses on TMZ. Yeah, this happy perfect life, spending all her time on TMZ ragging on people and cutting them down. Very mentally ill. And she goes back and forth on her family and how perfectly Stepford they all are. Would be funny if not so terribly, desperately sad. Would LOVE to get a pix of the wonderful mutant group so we could judge them the way she judges others!

69. As Jesus says in Matthew 7:18-20: "A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them."

Just calling it like it is!

70. Angelina:

Ultimately the only real security against corruption is if Africans make their leaders accountable and demand transparency. The international community has an obligation to help eradicate poverty, but the international community also has the right and the obligation to demand accountability and transparency as well. Donors should work more closely with each other to ensure that African governments that turn a blind eye to corruption get cut off from foreign aid.

71. Canada eh- next time you bash someone for saying hurtful things to someone else, make sure you don't do the same thing in return! DUH

72. jennzz, you are showing your true colors now. Yes, it makes you happy to say ugly hateful things about others. You sure don't like it when the shoe is on the other foot, do you, you worthless piece of ....! I think people should think about what they say about other and post accordingly. And think about how saying ugly things hurts just like a fist. Some people on this web site think think because they can throw out (up) some ugly opinion, that is has merit because it is in print form. They say whatever stupid ugly thing comes to their tiny little brain. Once in a while, it is good people are held accountable for their actions.

75. First and foremost, often the UN calls upon celebrities such as Jolie (Audrey Hepburn in the past) and others to draw attention to famine, malaria, devastation from wars, floods, droughts etc. and the needs of those people caught up in such tragedies worldwide. I, for one, regardless of what some on this board think of Jolie, applaud her for her efforts. Let's look past what she does in her personal life that is always reported, and look at how she lends her name to the UN to help others and to better their lives. If she is using her work in the UN to rid herself of past demons, garner publicity, etc., so what?! Some good at least comes from it. I would rather read of her charity work for the UN anyday over the crap endlessly printed about self-absorbed, selfish, "no reason to be famous" skanks like Brittany, Paris, Lohan, and the rest of their bunch. They each should try giving back to this world by also getting involved with the UN, March of Dimes, UNICEF, and countless other charities. Angelina Jolie....you are ok in my book.
