* Jolie lambasted the Security Council for their inaction over the crisis, saying: 'We are standing by in Syria'

* Syria's ambassador said simply of her presence: 'She's beautiful'

* Nearly four million Syrians have fled the conflict into neighboring countries, which warn they are dangerously overstretched

Angelina Jolie briefed the council as special envoy for the U.N. on refugee issues on Friday morning at UN headquarters in New York. Syria's ambassador said simply of her presence: 'She's beautiful.' The 39-year-old mother-of-six, who said she has made 11 visits to Syrian refugees in the region since the crisis began in 2011 (inset), called strongly for the political will to act.

I have major respect for this compassionate and articulate woman. You can say she has it all--gorgeous, filthy rich, mutiple homes, etc. etc.

But, she gives back 10 fold. She doesn't have to do any of this. She is using her notoriety to make a difference. Kudos to a worthy world citizen.

1. Typical

So if you're beautiful you're not supposed to care about others??

2. I hope you're embarrassed you wrote such a stupid post. Maybe you're in the wrong place..n/t

4. Don't see the problem. Novara seems to be mocking the

Syrian ambassador's sexist response...

[Novara]

5. Yes, it's typical that a male would only focus on her looks

Is that so hard to understand?

6. Apparently, monmouth4 was confused about it...

Go figure.

It was pretty clear to me!

3. She's an insignificant female. How could any ideas worthy of attention come out of her mouth?
