Her Beneficence Angelina Jolie spoke before the Council on Foreign Relations Tuesday, telling the shadowy Washington organization that education is the key to restoring Iraq.
"It is a fact that the best way to heal children in conflict and their trauma is to focus their minds on their future," Angelina said.
"This population we're talking about is the future of Iraq. So to reach them now, to help deal with their trauma and refocus their minds on a possible future should absolutely be one of our top priorities.
"We need these kids ... to rebuild their country, to stabilize their country and eventually lead their country."
I agree with Angelina. We definitely need to start educating the Iraqi people. And then when we're done, perhaps we could do something about educating the American people?Has Angelina not noticed the absurd number of knuckle-dragging idiots in this country? Honestly, you can't walk two steps in this shithole without elbowing some slack-jawed imbecile in a wire-mesh John Deere cap sporting untied sneakers and a t-shirt with a beer logo emblazoned on it.
There's a certain irony, I think, in Angie calling upon the U.S. to educate the children of the country it has destroyed...given that, were the U.S. itself not full of ignorant twits, the war never would've been allowed to happen in the first place, because the (enlightened) populace would have risen up against it.
I also think it's interesting that Angelina is even a member of a thing like the Council on Foreign Relations (she joined last year). That group is evil, and is largely responsible for us being in Iraq in the first place.
Does Angie actually support this irresponsible interventionist foreign policy of ours? Is she secretly a hawk? Does she view scorched and ravaged nations merely as more stages upon which to strut her faux-humanitarian stuff? What is really going on in that devious little mind of hers?
