Angelina Jolie, the world's most elegant....surge protector

Hey, they all show up on Maher.

What Jolie is doing, however, is reminding everybody that we maybe should stay, not for political reasons, but for purposes of helping in a humanitarian crisis that we precipitated ourselves. We took a country with an oppressed people suffering under one dictator and made a giant holy hash of an entire region.

And then we wonder why everybody doesn't jump on the bandwagon when we propose military solutions.

You break it, you buy it.

And, much though I hate the fact, the Geneva Convention requires a conquering nation to rebuild the country that it conquered. The extent of that is debatable, but it is our obligation. So, I agree in principal, I'm just not sure that it is possible to do much more than we already have done in the practical sense.

By the way, for further support to the point that Pitt and Jolie don't quite fit the left-wing, liberal, tree hugging, "Hollywood Types" mold, I read a recent article stating that Jolie is working to produce a movie version of Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" with her starring as Dagny Taggert and Pitt wants to produce a movie version of Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead" with Pitt playing the main character Rourke. Apparently both are big Rand fans. Now, as I am painfully aware, being a big Ayn Rand fan puts you on the political fringe, but it certainly puts them far from the normal "Hollywood Types."
