Angelina: Iraq and Roll

Posted Aug 28th 2007 4:35PM by TMZ Staff

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.

92. sunday school teacher, the bible also speaks of forgiveness and the ability to change and forgiveness. also a scripture that says "judge not , lest ye be judged." you should teach the love of God.

93. jennzz, don't flatter yourself. You are but a part of a larger problem. Ugly self-righteous people who need to tear down others to feel good about themselves. And no one believes your pitiful claims to the perfect life, either. My mama taught me if you didn't have anything nice to say about someone, shut up. I don't care if people have an opinion different then mine, or if they have an intelligent, formed opinion that is negative. But what you do as do many other TMZ posters is not acceptable. You are speaking about someone's mother, sister, partner, child. To throw around such ugly words and names is contemptible. Yeah, you are mother of the year and throw around words like skank and ho. And for what? If one of your precious kids read one of your postings, what would they think of you? If your perfect husband read your ugly bile scribblings, what would he think of you? We all judge, jennzz, I am judging you on your postings and find you repellent. Everyone needs to think of the power of the written word, please don't misuse it and please help clean up this site as well as others.

95. Just because she lives her life - with her children and partner differently than most of us doesn't mean it's wrong. Her children always seem very happy.

I'm glad to see her continue her humanitarian work. She doesn't need to go to Iraq and Darfur to get attention. She seems to really care and take her job with the UN seriously.

96. She needs to stay at home for all the good she does. Who, anywhere in the world, even cares where she is???? She does this for publicity. She's still a skank. When is her next foreign kid purchase?

97. What a wonderful women. I wish more women could be half as generous with their time and money as this fine woman. Anyone trying to knock her down for supporting our troops is not patriotic; get over yourselves and think of the troops for a change. It’s not all about you and who you hate or don’t hate. They are happy to see anyone other than each other. And a hot girl like Angie is just what the doctor ordered.

Some of you people are very selfish and you’ve got a lot of nerve griping about someone who visiting the troops. I’m glad she not anything like you.

98. # 92 - well said. We don't have to agree with the way anyone else lives their lives or chooses to bring up thier children. We all do it differently. As long as the kids are happy, taken care of, and educated.

Below is one of the answer which Sean Smith gave to the emailers. You can read the full transcript from the above URL. Sean Smith writes for Newsweek.

Sean Smith: I got a lot of questions on this topic about this, too. I don't know why Pitt and Aniston broke up. Frankly, I can't tell you why MY last relationship ended. The only two people who really know what happened in relationship are the two people in it. Neither Jennifer, Brad or Angelina has ever said that Angelina "stole" him. She may have. She may not. I don't know. But neither does anyone else, and I'm perplexed by this need for us, as the American public, to cast something as complicated as a romantic relationship into a simple soap-opera narrative, with a good girl and a bad girl. I do know this in general: when a relationship is happy and healthy, neither partner can be stolen by anyone.

102. I agree with you, too, #92. Angelina is the stuff, and all of you trolls out there posting nasty things about her on TMZ should be ashamed of yourselves. She's truly beautiful, inside and out, and doesn't say nasty things about people she doesn't know.. Get off her already. She's a goddess!
