Also, EOA is now part of the Respecting all Fans, run by Marilyn Fan. Org.

By using the words ‘Respecting All Fans’ on a fansite, button, on a forum or by using one of the banners below, the webmaster/fan shows that her or she doesn’t support hategroups, bashing other fans or cyberharrassment, but supports the main purpose of being a fan: honoring the subject or person you love.

In this world full of cruelty, it has come to the point where even fans attack eachother. It’s the last thing we need.
Respecting All Fans is all about the love for a certain subject/person and to share the love with eachother. Leave eachother in peace. Every fan is different and you can expect every fan to be like you. We are all humans. Leave eachother be.

Some more photos of Angelina’s recent trip to Iraq have surfaced. She is meeting with top officials to demand help for people displaced by the war.

Angelina has made a trip to Iraq and it is a follow up to a visit to the region six months ago. According to a press statement it marks a “mission to support and implement joint solutions to assist Iraqi’s displaced population.”

Angelina traveled to Baghdad with Under Secretary of State for Global Affairs Paula Dobriansky “to discuss US humanitarian relief efforts for internally displaced persons and conflict victims.” She also met with Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari and Immigration and Refugees Minister Abdel Samad Rahman Sultan and had lunch with American troops serving in Iraq after earlier meeting their top commander, General David Petraeus. And to top it off she also held talks in Baghdad’s fortified Green Zone with UN head of mission Staffan di Mistura and met a group of internally displaced people.

A Press Conference was scheduled but later cancelled, instead Angelina gave an interview to CNN:

“There are over two million displaced people and there never seems to be a real coherent plan to help them,” she said.

“There’s lots of goodwill and lots of discussion but there seems to be a lot of talk at the moment and a lot of pieces that need to be put together.”

“Of the two million internally displaced, it’s estimated 58 percent are under 12 years old. It’s a very high number of people in a very, very vulnerable situation and a lot of young kids,” Jolie told CNN.

“So far, the different US officials I met with and different local people I’ve met with all have shared concerns, very, very strongly. They have spoken out about the humanitarian crisis, but there seems to be a block in.

“I don’t have the answers, but I know this is one thing that needs to be addressed and solved. (There needs) to be a real presence here to help count the people and register the people.”
