Angelina Jolie isn’t a big fan of Pakistan’s plans to push U.N. refugee camps back into Afghanistan:
Actress Angelina Jolie, a goodwill ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency, said that Pakistani plans to relocate refugee camps from Pakistan to Afghanistan would not help the Afghans living in them. “I don’t think it is a good idea,” Jolie told reporters at a press conference on Saturday when asked to comment on remarks made by Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf about relocating the camps.

Non-existent sources report that Musharraf responded in-kind, saying he didn’t think Jolie’s move from sexy bombshell to sexy homewrecker was all that good of an idea either, but you didn’t see him complaining.
<sarcasm>Actors should be made fun of for expressing an opinion on a political matter since they are all supposed to be dumb. They are actors and they should only talk about movies and sex.</sarcasm>
for real, as an ambassador for a refugee agency isn’t it her JOB to make comments like that? Heck, now more people probably know about Musharraf’s plans than they would have otherwise. Or are you simply saying she should have been more articulate about it?
umm, she’s probably more qualified than you or I to talk about these issues, given how much she actually does on the ground. She also says she gives 1/3 of her income away to charity.
Better Jolie than Geri Halliwell, another UN ambassador. She shouts a lot but generally doesn’t know her elbow from her ass.
I look better in a shalwar kameez than Princess Di or Imran Khan’s wife ever did.
umm Angelina Jolie is teh hotness /obligatory
I think its way cool of her to be doing this on her own time. She doesn’t have to, but she takes an interest and the more power to her for expressing her opinion on the matter. Now if you were to ask someone like Brad Pitt about the growing tensions of China and Japan, who would really care? Unless of course its Johnny Depp telling a german magazine how the US is a bad puppy. hehe
