Angelina Jolie Takes Time Magazine
Angelina Jolie takes to Time Magazine to voice her case against Sudanese President Omar al Bashir, who has been indicted on seven counts of war crimes and five counts of crimes against humanity.
The 33-year-old refugee advocate writes, “Friday is a defining moment in the history of justice. The members of the United Nations Security Council will be presented with the results of the International Criminal Court’s Darfur investigation — an investigation that they requested. Their response will determine whether there is going to be an international standard of justice that holds perpetrators accountable for the worst crimes in the world.”
She continues, “Today the Security Council member states will be faced with a simple decision — to embrace impunity or to end it. As they are considering Bashir’s fate they are also considering their own.”

Passing Through.. Damn it’s a wonder they haven’t fired your ass.. you’re on here everyday.
Someone still doing their amateur psycho babble on a blog. Go whine to 99 percent of Hollywood and learn the difference between real life conflicts and a Hollywood fantasy.
to 120 @ 06/05/2009 at 5:18 pm sorry, but i would much rather hear from women of true consequence; michelle obama, jill biden, her royal highness queen noor of jordan, the present queen rania of jordan, secretary of state hilary clinton. all of whom are each in their own right far greater than angelina can ever hope to be.

You mean, women whose posituon is MAINLY due for being married to the main guy.
-
You are aware that those women position is due to their husband FIRST right ?
-
You are also aware that most of those women have never even adress the plight of refugee in Sudan ?
-
You are also aware than none of theme have EVER, never spend hours in a refuge camp.
-
You are aware that Jolie’s humanitarian mission around refugee is nearly a decade…while those women, most of them were just the rich wife of the real deal.
-
So sorry, i rather stand for wa woman whose position is due on her OWN, not because she benefitted from the position of her betterhalf. A woman who didn’t hesitated to dig in the dirt since she was 25, not a queen or the wife of a president who will stay in her tailor made suit and do an operaton of promotion WHILE being paid for that or to promote her country/husband.

LOL !!!! no need to talk….. she’s been switched up by Brad :D and Brad has been switched up by her :D got it ????
Angie is an inspiration to all women, she is a doer and works tirelessly for the poor and displaced. She has compassion and not self absorbed like most Hw actresses. She is only 34 and has accomplished a lot in her 34yrs than most people older achieve in their life time. The best thing about her is she never asks for anything in return, that in my book puts her at the top of the list of most inspiring people. When you are this kind and generous, only the good come to you regardless of what the haters wish.

And she doesn’t need to be the wife/companion of someone to be/do what she has to do.
-
She owns everything she is and has on her own merits with no relationship whatsoever to a companion status. Few women can say the same in that machistic world.
-
I also give that to Oprah !
Sh eis so beautiful and poised.
nice…i love this woman.
Uh oh. I hope the super Conservative, Christian & family oriented Walgreen’s doesn’t learn what kind of sexually deviant discussions go on at IUC. They may get a tad perturbed that they are advertising large on his site.
.
I hope no one rats out IUC to Walgreen’s.

go after bush for war crimes and you’ll have my love
——————————————————————————————–
you don’t want to know how happy i was when i heard there was an australian university that was dedicating their entire law class to this matter. i doubt it will happen, but it doesn’t hurt to try
*******
If/when agression (invading a sovereign country) becomes a crime, it will be hard for the ICC to catch Bush, because the US won’t cooperate. The US does not recognize the ICC. The only way to catch Bush would be if he leaves the country.
Remember Pinochet? He was lucky to have Margaret Thatcher help him. I doubt Bush would have anyone help him!
If I remember correctly, I read that Henry Kissinger loves soccer, and used to attend every World Cup, but he missed the one in Germany because he was worried about becoming another Pinochet. He knows there are people after him.

yeah i know. it’s all just depressing really. i’m not even going to get into how frustrating the double standard lol sometimes multiple standards there are for the great u-s-of a, and other wester/civilized countries.
to 123 and 124
lol. ANGELINA JOLIE IS NOT PERFECT AND IN FACT SHE IS A CELEBRITY, AN ACTRESS. so there it is. she has a career, a freakin profession. she is not a politician, a laywer, an environmentalist, a doctor, an aide worker, etc…she knows who she is and what she does. her profession (and i used to be among the ones who used to say that oh why are all these celebrities becoming involved in matters that don’t concern them/they know nothing about especially first hand, but then i realized that my cousins back home who live hand to ground and are poor know who these celebrities are, they follow the news here, they watch cnn…and yet in reality they are stuggling, running away from malitia etc…) does not disallow her to be passionate about whatever, and her career does not disallow her right to be a human, react humanly, be concerned about matters of the world, and to give back or act in a positive or a negative manner. SHE IS A FCUCKING HUMAN, even if she is also a celebrity. there is a duality with her lifestyle and maybe what she represents but she is not the first nor will she be the last, and in fact many people live dual lives, say something and do something else and that doesn’t deny her the right to learn about something, be passionate about something and impart herself or her knowledge onto others. that’s not the world we live in and that is most definately not the world i would want to live in because it would probably impeded communication and the sharing that is so important to being human. i think it’s nice to criticise because you feel it’s in your right, but if so then it is alright for her to criticise because it is also her right. why would you disallow her to being herself when you are also allowed to live in the world and be yourself. i hate when people who don’t know anything become politicians or people who feel because they’re born into something (it’s their birth right) so therefore they have to continue it. be smarter. it’s okay if you don’t idolize angelina jolie. she is not asking for your accolades. allow some of us the vanity we get by coming to this website and celebrating who she is.
don’t hate the player hate the game and she’s not the only one doing it. stop being a hypocrite.
Love Angie.
Angelina went to the trial before she attended Cannes with her hubby. I simply don’t know how she finds the time, but I do admire her for caring. I know she has a heart of gold.
“why would you disallow her to being herself when you are also allowed to live in the world and be yourself. ”
oh wait…because she’s a celebrity and i’m not, and she’s one of the world’s hottest women and i’m not, and he’s popular and i’m not. she’s rich and i’m not, and i constantly have her image and her agendas pushed onto me through the media…which means she has some sort of power right. which i don’t have. gah. stop being stupid twitches.
Thanks Jared, I loved the article in Time. I buzzed it up and put a digg in too. Needs many more diggs though. What a great writer Angelina is. Such a sad case this is for those poor people who have been neglected all these years. Angelina hasn’t forgotten the people who still struggle to survive and is making sure that the world doesn’t forget either. I too hope justice is served.
All this hatred because Angie is simply being herself….a selfless mother, wife, humanitarian. I cannot understand the hatred for her, its crazy that people go out of the way to hater her so much. Spend so much time and energy and for what…nothing, Angie does not care. She will continue to be Angie, she will continue to live her life, love her children, love her man and there is nothing any of those haters can do to change that. Therefore, I suggest you find something else to do with your lives!

I totally agree with everything you said except for one thing.

“not because she benefitted from the position of her betterhalf”
.
I say “not because she benefited from the position of her other half.”
That’s why I love our Angie oh so much….
Angie…. you are simply the beeeeeeeeeessssssstt!
God bless you.. Brad and your beautiful children.. and God bless the Jolie-Pitt’s FANS around the world!
Hey Passing Through…so many comments, so little time, huh?. hahahaha.
I just LOVE Angie for what she fights for and stands for. She’s truly an inspiration. Thanks for all the positive comments. I learn a lot from her fans.
Peace
OMG! Look at that. She has still time to write about something relevant. I can’t even imagine how she does that considering she is still filming SALT. Amazing, she is simply it.
I am just very proud to be her fan. I hope I could do multitasking as well as Angelina does. Way to go…
I agree. I can only imagine what she’ll accomplish by the time she’s brad Pitt’s age. She’s been committed to this for almost ten years now. she put all that energy into something positive. if only more people would do the same the world would be a lot better place.
NO WAY she wrote that article, not enough functioning brain cells, lol. Karma’s going to get this HO.

I can’t take these trifling trolls seriously. They don’t even have the attention span to use 1 name on a regular basis…but I’m supposed to care that she thinks I’m cheating my employer? Even after nearly 15+ years online the depth of the stupidity of trolls somehow still manages to amaze me on occasion…
