[...] was probably to be expected, shortly after Angelina Jolie went on her trip to visit Iraq, stories began popping up in the tabloids – print and online – saying that it was a shameless photo [...]

I strongly agree with Sherry. People should check their sexism. It’s not the 1950s anymore – we even have women soldiers, pilots, etc. Some of these women have kids they left at home because their orders said so.

Karen, being judgmental goes along with being sexist. Who said you could decide how other people live their lives. It’s so presumptuous to say that Angelina should/should not be allowed to adopt anymore – you’re acting as if you’re God.

I’ve seen Angelina in a kevlar vest before – except it was U.N. blue – when she was checking landmines. The kevlar vest & helmet don’t prove or disprove her pregnancy. Everyone in Baghdad – soldiers, journalists, western workers – wear the vests & helmets for protection. Everyone but the Iraqis, that is – who’re forced to go without protection. The vests are very heavy – tens of pounds. The idea is that the essential central body organs are protected by the vest, and the head by the helmet. These are the areas where a wound could be fatal.

Thanks for the update. I traveled to the Middle East, Island, next to Saudi Arabia, (Bahrain), and almost married a Prince, Michael Bulucchi, whom I met in the states. I loved it there and did not want to leave at the time. On my venture, following my Fathers’s footsteps, 24 yrs., Army support, and in Iran, past wars etc., my Mom like Angie, beautiful, smart, strong, very involved, so amazing! It’s tuff! I’d love to put the picture of my Mom and Elivis Presley on the blog, when per picture was taken with him, in his service days. In my eyes, Angie’s Mother was her Guardian Angel and a Saint given to our world. I feel so grateful to watch Brad and Angie’s Family grow. Their children will honor them so much as parents, as we all do ours. Damm, they are so IT!

I feel like I know them and Love them Both.

Karen – I sort of see that as a sexist point of view. No one blinks if a man travels on occasion for work. That’s “normal” but everyone makes a big deal of it when it’s the mother.

Also, I’m not sure why you think she’s away a lot – if she’s filming, her family comes with her so that they’re still together at the end of the day. Her trips for the UN are never for a long period, only a matter of days.

It’s not 1950 anymore – a lot of women travel for work, it doesn’t mean they neglect their children.

Saw pictures of Angie back in LA. Hope she and Brad and the kids are enjoying their family reunion. Brad must be so proud, as Angie is of him. Love the Jolie Pitts.

what I am reading from some of you all commends are good and you seem very concern but my point I am going to make is that most of you are selfish which is not the way Angelina Jolie thinks. I read somewhere that if you are not willing to die for something you are not passionate about it, anyway words to that effect. all I hear is selfish americans talking, who said she is even pregnant you are drawing conclusion without any facts

I so admie her, and think its great that while she is there to highlight the devestation of war she still stops to have lunch with a young marine. It shows you can be anti war but still tell those young men and women,(just with her presence)
that she understands its not their fault.
