Angelina Jolie Spotlights Child Soldiers
Angelina Jolie attends the trial of a Congolese warlord charged with using child soldiers held at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands, on Tuesday (May 19).
The 33-year-old activist said the case against Thomas Lubanga is a “landmark trial for children.” She continued, “Children deserve special protection. Using children in conflict is a heinous crime and destroys the very fabric of a society. I imagined how difficult it must be for all the brave young children who have come to testify against him.”
One ICC attendee added, “I notice the petite figure which was supported by those shoes and that it was Angelina Jolie! She is much more beautiful in person than in any magazine or interview. If that’s what she looks like in print then she is not very photogenic… she spoke French to her colleagues.” More about Angie at Lauraware!
The United Nations estimates up to 250,000 child soldiers still fight in more than a dozen countries.

….. I think its her forehead veins.
goodnight to all jp fans.im so excited for tomorrow.i hope both brad and angie will attent the rc.
Good day Neleh here. Good day all JP+6 fans on board & lurking now. How are you. At work so no time 4 a roll call, but 2morrow is different a bit, lol.
What a beautiful day 2day, sunny & cool. Hi Jared.
.
I’d like 2 share a video its graphic..Concerns a young girls story as a child soldier. This is what Angelina is about- the concerns of refugees-children-all people…I admire her much.
.
Thanku Angelina 4 recognizing refugees are a recognizable result of the breakdown of the economic & or political situation in an area. Their fleeing violence, discrimination& economic hardship, political conflict. Some ways the very existence of refugees is evidence of the world’s economic &political disparities, proving that many changes need to occur in the world before intractable conflict becomes a thing of the past. Thanku Angelina 4 being a person in the world trying 2 make a difference.
Take care every1. Neleh
.
As 1 person I can not change the world, but I can change the world of 1 person.
.
No Mod please Jared.Thanku.

I am aware now thanks to the beautifull Angelina…
bridget, you give everyone who knows you I’m sure the creeps. This is the most beautiful woman, both inside and out, and has more class than you will ever know. So go back to doing whatever you do all day- probably watching Maury and jerry springer.That is the extent of what you know of world issues so you stay in your little clueless world and leave the Godess Angelina who has done more for children and world issues than your little pea brain could even understand. Your pathetic!
First She is one attention ***** who wants to take her photop as a media ***** child soldiers issues happend since years we are not waiting ofr this attention ***** to tell us about, Second you can notice the “moment” she chooses to ***** herself one day before the premier if she doesn’t support brad than this is one manipulative *****.

You’re the attention ho in here who needs a lobotomy to clear the air from your insanity. Go back sucking your idole’ disgusting self ! She is the one who likes to bare it all at 40 using young men as a furniture for her nasty orgianic phantasy while crying over her grey hair.
-
That’s the type of idole you like to stand for as she resemble the bimbo you are ! Like you, it’s “Nothing in the brain, everything on the booty”, even if urine and poo are included ! Go back to the braindead sk*nk whose expiration date is long overdue !
@love them: well said

Do you fans remember last year Brad went to Netherland for that architect Museum and it was just an afternoon run? I guess going to Netherland from their home in Nice must be really easy for them. Now i believe they are staying at their home in Miraval. Brad probably just had a run to Cannes for an interview on saturday and then went back to Miraval and that’s why there is no picture of him there. I think THE JOLIE is already back at their home in Miraval.
+++++++++
I believe so.
Not Impressed with JA @ 05/19/2009 at 4:27 pm
==========================================
Thank you for your testimony, Not Impressed. i concur with every word you said about that pathetic creature and her sycophants. Crying over one grey hair indeed. How obscene.
.
I was stark raving mad at jj for the bombardment of worthless threads about a so-called ‘movie star’ on set doing nothing but walking or standing around. LOL. Now with this single thread on the real Movie Star, in less than two hours we are already more than half the number of posts that ‘other one’ has on a thread that was posted more than four days ago! And if it werent for JP fans posting and bashing the fugly one, her thread would have less than 50 posts.
.
Now who is the real macoy!! can i hear an AMEN!

@manipulative ho: leave this wondeful woman alone.you are just full of hate.it is not her fault that she is too beutiful, smart, talented and kind hearted.stop the hate. it will not do you any good.poor soul.
She’s a very kind hearted person, she seems to love to the fullest and does not hold back. I wish her much continued success and happiness. Angelina will continue to have haters because she is so iconic, outspoken, accomplished and of course beautiful. Many women look down on others who are more accomplished and attractive than they her. Therefore, the hatred towards her can also be interpreted as a compliment. I have much respect for her as she is able to live outside of this glitzy experience and spread awareness around the world. Afterall, isn’t this what humanity is about, that we are here to help nurture and help one another. This alone will help continue human existence, she is a great example of what we should strive to be.
her = are
brange fan from greece- greetings and thank-you. It’s really going to get ugly when Angie and Brad both show up on the red carpet! These idiots have been predicting their break-up, and they are going to lose it when they show up looking so in love like they are! they make me proud! Love them!

Groundcontrol,
“She is shining the spotlight on these trials of which most people are unaware. That is her job. She does it wisely and to great effect.”
Am so glad you brought this up…AJ highlighting the plight of these children is timely and so important. Melissa is an example of the shortsightedness of many who are not exposed, don’t want to be exposed and just want to hide their heads from any unpleasantness. Melissa, dr zhivago and Their Like’s intent is to divert AJ’s positive efforts into a negative one…those who would take anyone’s good-will only to turn it into a perverse extreme cynicism against that person must be seething in a joyless existence.
For all those who are interested in an aspect of this subject matter, rent “War Dance”, a wonderfully inspiring movie about the Acholi children of Northern Uganda’s refugee camps who were kidnapped and served as death soldiers for Josef Kony and his Lords Resistance Army. Josef Kony for those who don’t know is a devout Christian fighting for a theocratic Christian Ugandan state. The movie interviews these children (with subtitles) and follows a positive outcome from a horrible past.
By competing in Kampala’s National Music Festival in 2007, through Dance and an exhilarating performance, they overcome stigma and personal humiliation for what they were forced to do. It’s a riveting movie only for those who are really interested and have the fortitude to hear their stories, it’s a difficult movie to sit through, can be descriptive but in the end the viewer will be crying with relief for these children who have a new outlook while living with their memories…go rent it or see exerpts at http://www.ugpulse.com/articles/daily/Movies.asp?ID=759
to see if you want to rent the whole movie. Scan down a ways to find the first video. The music is joyful. If you think Susan Boyle was inspiring…these children will surpass her although they are not known except for this movie and those familiar with Uganda. I highly recommend this movie.
AJ thank you for bringing this topic to the attention of the Melissa’s et al of the dark world. I personally look forward to the day Joseph Kony is caught and brought to justice for his crimes against humanity. He not only is a child stealer but he mutilates and kills for glory and power.
Re: dr zhivago @ 05/19/2009 at 3:00 pm
“All you lazy posters need to get off the computer and travel to a third world country. It will educate you more than reading about actors who serve as infomercials for lazy internet bloggers.”
As opposed to your armchair position of not going to third world countries, so therefore you don’t have to educate yourself…your logic is stupefying.
I have been to many third world countries, have volunteered my specialty as have many of the posters on these threads…and I can guarantee you, for anyone who has committed the time and effort in the real world, none of us would talk the way you attempt to state a case. While alluding that you have…your accusations are merely a charade to show generic derision for JP and their supporters…your smoke screen is fading as you have no validity that you yourself have walked the talk…you’re just full of hot air and nothing else.
okay neleh mantra here…no mod please jared.
hey use common sense. if she was an attention ho, wouldn’t the paps have more pics of her at the hague, or have known that she was going to this. w/e. stop being a hater.
AMEN! AMEN!
Angelina is not at all superficial, she throws herself fully in the causes she believes in and this girl walks her talk. She is beautiful inside & outside. Yes she actually looks more beautiful in person than on the magazines and photos and she is petite and fragile-looking, unlike what we saw on Tomb Raider.
God bless her and her family!
@diane:
is it true that Brad left Angelina If he did hes an ass hole
D@mm!T I CANNOT WAIT FOR CANNES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
val- well said- Bravo!!!!
Thanks for the all the informative articles about AJ attending the trial of a Congolese warlord charged with using child soldiers held at the International Criminal Court in The Hague. The act of violence and forcing children into unspeakable acts are truly inhuman. Hopefully, justice and measures to protect more children will take place.
Thank you QQQQ. Finally we see the picture of them together.
