Keep up the great work Angie!!!

I wish there were more pictures, but I hope these people get some kind of aid and relief.

Oh boy here we go.

I'm just ready to hear how all of the haters spin this around to something negative, and wow she left her children for what a day or two? Awful mom, right?

It really is sad about all the refugees! They kinda are the forgotten ones. There are hundreds and thousands of people displaced from their homes. What kind of life is that? It's all very sad.

Someone needs to figure out a way to get the troops out but to also bring stability to this country and to do something about the people suffering in these camps. I feel so sorry for these people because this is going to turn into the Darfur of Europe where people talk talk and nothing gets done. That old woman should have been enjoyig her old age not suffering in some refugee camp.

Darfur of the middle east i meant.

YOU'VE GOT TO RESPECT THIS ON SO MANY LEVELS...TEAM JOLIE FOR SURE WHEN IT COMES TO THIS!

oh lord

I know I couldn't imagine having to live like that it's awful. And Nyara this is the Middle East, not Europe.

Oops you corrected yourself. my bad

here we go...

nyar the way i see we'll always need to have an x amount of troops in Iraq

I think this will turn into the same thing because who's going to help them?

There is just no winning in Iraq! Even if the troops pull out the militants are going to take over. There will always need to be some troops there. And what the hell is all this for they aren't even the ones who attacked us! I hate that they act like oh we are winning the war...or we gotta win the war. There is no winning here...NONE!

There's really no way to bring stability to a country that's already had inner turmoil for year and years before we even got involved, so whether we're there or not it will still be chaos there, though I think the U.S. has definitely added to the problem.

I know Zahara but damn can you imagine always being surrounded by soldiers, kids growing up and not knowing what it is to just walk down the street without a car bomb going off. Families of soldiers always worrying, it just all blows! I blame the governments that instigated and the extremists who are taking advantage of it to push their agenda equally. Dang!

I'm with you hotstuff, Iraq had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11, people were just bloodthirsty, and that's why this war can't be won. It's just a huge mess, with no hope in sight, and it's put us in even more danger if you ask me, a breeding ground for people to hate us even more.

Hotstuff I totally agree when people are being bombed in markets and soldiers ar being attacked and a country is run by a make shift government that is not winning. Not in the least. It's like putting a band aid over a serious gash and saying i don't need stitiches I'll be fine.

I don't think we will always need troops occupying Iraq, they should leave since they shouldn't have went in the first place. Staying is only going to cause more soldiers to die for no reason and more people to get pissed at us. If anything I think we need people to go over there to help with poverty and educating the citizens there.

Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 but I feel that a lot of people just associated anything vaguely anti-american coming from a muslim country as a threat to security which is soooooo stuid and ignorant because just because I say i don't like someone doesn't mean I'm gonna do something about it. I mean even now at airports who gets hassled the most? This ignorance and paranoia really gets to me damnit!! It leads to situations like the one above in those photos.

I love Angie, especially because of her humanitarian work. I'll leave it at that.

Sad to say but there are troops stationed all over the world in many places that the US has some point had conflict with....kinda to keep things in check. I don't see how they would not do the same in Iraq. CNN just now reported another soldier was killed. You can't go a day without hearing this it's all very sad!

that sh*tty goverment in Iraq refure to get their act together,parliment is currently on vacation cuz its too damn hot.

Fashionstar I think for the forseeable troops are needed, a mess was made and it needs to get cleaned and it was not made by the Iraqi people, the governments that put them there needs to dig them out because it's not fair to go in wreck a country for wweapons that can become invisible and then leave them to kill each other. It's not only about more soldiers dying its about the hundreds of thousands, millions even at risk. You can't alleviate poverty in a region that's that messed up right now.

I know Zahara and who picked these men who got them nominated, a sh!tty government in the West.

The picture above breaks my heart. Just to think of the thousands and thousands of men, women, and children who have lost everything. I can't even imagine.

Despite how I feel about the whole Jenn/Brad/Angelina thing. I have a lot of respect for Angelina's heart and the good influence that she and Brad have on one another.

Thanks for posting this, Molly!!

is fab sugar going to feature an entry on where to get that wonderful bullet proof vest she's wearing?

i feel for those people. bless them; pray for them. the pain is so obvious, i wish i could help them. the news focusses more on the war itself rather then to stop an think a second bout the victims. those people go through so much, it's life-changing. yet they fight. they fight for their right 2 life. in a way, i envy them, for their power an will to survive

as for angelina, she should get an oscar for that face-expression.

Oh rats...the link at Ok Mag isn't working. There was a picture up yesterday, of Angelina with one of our troops.

Yeah I know we can't leave out ASAP, but what I'm saying is if you want to fight terrorism, which is an idea, you can't fight it with guns and bombs, you can only fight it by understanding the causes of it, which is usually poverty and desperation and then you try to help solve those causes. But seriously how are we really going to clean up this mess when these people already have inner conflict? I know we've made it about 50x worse, but I don't think we're winning that war, so should these troops stay? There aren't enough, they're getting wounded and killed every day, and most people aren't running to go enlist.

su9a

people that have seen their family die

Floweroflove I'm with you.

i couldnt resist... it's such a pretty shade of blue.

why did she feel it was necessary to bring a team of photogs with her? seems a bit narcissistic to me.

refugees break my heart. they are the people we all forget about. especially after a conflict is over and the soliders leave and the cameras stop rolling. it's a travesty and such an important issue. i give her props for taking the time to visit a refugee camp. she doesn't have to do this, she could spend all of her time shopping and getting her nails done.

su9a, the whole point of being a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN is to bring attention to areas like this. What don't you get about that? If she went just to say hi, what good would it do? This is also why she went to Darfur and let Newsweek film it. Why must there be a negative, suspicious comment about everything this woman does?

the photographers are there to take pictures. it's part of being a goodwill ambassador, to get the word out about situations like this . . .

Amen floweroflove about the refugees. And guys please let's not turn this into a post aout AJ and her personal life or her reasons for doing what she does, she went to for the refugees and it would be nice if for onece we could all talk like mature adults about an issue that's impacted on so many lives and really the course thw orld is taking.

so she DID see the american troops! yesterday there was a big hoolah going around about her not caring much about soldiers who are out there. clearly the passion and the drive is evident in those pictures. she's really into this so i think whether shes a media wh*re or not, we should at least credit her for this. she really does go out of her way to see these people personally.

actually she only took her body guard the photographer could be from anywhere, but this time she did not took photographers with her.

is the us government doing anything to help the refugees

Ther are way too many refugee camps in the world today and way too many broken and empty promises.

Nyara, amen to that!!

thank you mswindang...even though that link does not work, I saw the pics yesterday on tmz of Angie w/the troops.

su9a: because she is trying to raise awareness?!

Do you really think Popsugar, People.com and etc. would ever print a story about this if Angie wasn't in the picture?

If no one points a finger and says here is a problem and we need to do something about it, there will be no action. Politics are populistic, and no goverment is above that. They donate resources because they need to be seen as responsible and humanitarian, not because they are either.

This shows how much perspective people have in America..

Angelina Jolie is so much more than what she wears or what lipstick shade is hot, and if you guys can't deal with what really is out there than you should stick to news about Paris Hilton.

I doubt it Zahara, they're not even really helping the people in New Orleans that much so I doubt they'd offer real help to them.
