Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are in Syria, using their powers for good. The celebrity übercouple visited Iraqi refugees in Damascus today in an attempt to keep the lowest-profile victims of the war from falling off the radar, People reports. Jolie, a goodwill ambassador for the UN's refugee agency, released a statement that reads in part: "Most Iraqi refugees cannot return to Iraq in view of the severe trauma they experienced there, the uncertainty linked to the coming Iraqi elections, the security issues and the lack of basic services."

What an amazing couple more of Hollywood ppl need to be more involved in humanitarian affairs of the world.

She and Brad should actually schedule the border states for their next U.N. mission, since it is the U.N. that also facilitates some of these engagements it is rather hypocritical then to hire celebrity ambassadors then to spin the "accords" which lead to much of what is going on in the Middle East today.

And Angeline belongs to the Council of Foreign Relations, which is also behind the One World Government and wars that are being engaged in order to facilitate their ends. So maybe it is simply guilt at this point that has Ms. Jolie and Mr. Pitt so involved. Or their total lack of awareness that the very organizations to which they belong and promote as Ambassadors are actually to blame.

Since the U.N. also created the Nation of Israel due to British pressure, since the British were actually fundamental in getting that entire "organization" to promote their Central Bankers world conquest agendas, and have been doing so since its creation.

And simply unbelieveable also at this point, since it appears we start wars now in order to displace those in other countries for the U.S. ultimate gain. Since the U.S. has granted to date over 20,000 Iraqi refugees assylum now in this country. So the Bush and Obama agendas are also now adding to our already depressed economies both due to the war, and now taking in over 20,000 foreigners - many of which, like the Bosnians before them under Clinton, are or will be receiving "seed monies" for their families again at the U.S. taxpayers expense.

So that the bankers and politicians behind this agenda can also absolve, somewhat it appears, whatever morals or conscience they have left at this point.

Brangelina are a awesome couple for all the humanitarian work they do, but then Ross 1776 i agree with you if they want to do such work why be Ambassadors of the U.N they can do it on their own.
