Angelina Jolie Talks Foreign Relations

Thanks Jared!!

I’M PROUD OF ANGELINAL JOLIE!!

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING/EVENING/DAY TO ALL THE BAMZS AROUND THE WORLD!

IGNORE FOOLS

Its says the group does not require academic requirement.So it her personal experiance which is very important.Angelina has travelled to some of the dangerous places.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ANGELINA JOLIE, for becoming a member of this elite group. The “Think Tank” of Washington.

What great news to return home to!

For those who doubt her qualifications, I say that they need MORE people like her (Dr. Sacks for one) who actually know what it is like out there. Too many people with book learning and no practical experience is part of the problem. As someone who works in education, I see the horrid results of letting those with little practical experience dictate (or suggest) policy. When is the last time Dr. Rice went to a Third World country in anything but a suit and an air conditioned vehicle? Kissinger get his hands dirty? Never. How can people like that possibly “get” it?

Also Angelina has got messages from people around the world and she has got a lot written down since she wrote her journals.She is the best person

Of course you won’t. No big surprise there.

Congrats Angie!!!!

No matter how some wants to steal your joy. They can’t and won’t as long as you stay true to yourself and your cause(s).

You do go work and I adore your for that. Always know that when you are doing right, there will be others that will try to bring you down. We all have a pass but it is what you do with it —i.e. continue to stay in the same place or move on and do something better with your life. And that is what you have done.

So, WTG Angie. You are someone to emulate and the very people that are trying to bring you down knows IT!

btw to all haters and whatever…..as Kat Williams say go on a do your job. We all need haters because it tells us that we must be doing something right.

I understand where you are coming from when you say that despite her good works, she is probably NOT at the same level as luminaries like Henry Kissinger and Alan Greenspan.

Angelina is probably just a term member of CFR. Term members must be between 30 to 36 years of age when they are nominated. So most people who are term members are relatively young and are probably not very experienced in foreign relations in any case.

However, it seems to me that the CFR deliberately created the category of term members and deliberately introduced the requirements of age (30 to 36) in order to attract young people who bring with them a fresh perspective and the voice of the younger people to foreign relations. YOung people whose views are not shaped by the Vietnam war or by the second world war and the Great Depression (henry Kissinger and Alan Greenspan are depression kids) but shaped by the internet, by globalisation at a speed never before experienced. (I didn’t get on a plane till I was 18, my daughter has been to more then 10 countries and she is only 5. She does have a far better sense of the world then I do at that age. She understands time differences, she will probably understand forex differences:)).

As far as young people go, then I think Angelina is a good choice. Sure, there may be phd holders who have the intellectual heft. But let me say, as someone who works and lives in a university community, there are plenty of post docs who just don’t get the big picture, who see everything in terms of numbers and statistics and not in human terms. Angelina may not be the statistician but may bring the human experience to these statistics.

Sure there may be business men and women who have been expatriates who could add value to CFR, and sure there may be men and women from the American foreign service who can bring much value to CFR. if these young people are any good, they probably can obtain nominations to the CFR as term members. I don’t see from its website that CFR is club that restricts how many term members they can admit each year. So other people can be admitted if they are good enough.

So it seems to me, Angelina will be good for CFR and I am proud to be her fan.

Well done Angelina.
Proud of you.

If **** CHeney can be on the council, Angelina Jolie certainly can. Cheney being on the same council as Angelia for foreign relations is a real joke. Other than, perhaps, one country(that is not third world), when has Cheney tried to help any third world countries.

Dumbing down, aren’t we?
