People: Shining onstage at the Santa Barbara Film Festival only last Saturday,
Angelina Jolie showed up a world away - in every respect - on Thursday; Baghdad.
The goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees is there on a U.S. government mission with the State Department to Iraq. She is accompanying Under Secretary of State Paula Dobriansky "to learn more about the humanitarian crisis and the 4 million displaced people, 58 percent of whom are under 12," says her philanthropic adviser, Trevor Neilson.
"There's lots of goodwill and lots of discussion, but there seems to be just a lot of talk at the moment, and a lot of pieces that need to be put together. I'm trying to figure out what they are," Jolie, calling for a more coherent plan for the refugees to trickle back to their homes, said as part of an interview with CNN.
