"The actress and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, 32, flew from New York to Syria on
Monday. In Damascus, she visited a UNHCR registration center and spend hours
talking to Iraqi refugees in their homes. 'I have come to Syria and Iraq to help
draw attention to the humanitarian crisis and to urge governments to increase
their support for UNHCR and its partners,' Jolie said in a statement. 'My sole
purpose in both countries is to highlight the plight of those uprooted by the
war in Iraq.' "
Angie is one of the few people whom I respect when it comes to things like this. There are many more people who are all talk about an issue, but do little work. She has done a lot of work to address the issues that she is concerned with, and done so without making a political splash.
