Angelina's Iraq Tour

Tue., Aug. 28, 2007 11:45 AM PDT by Julie Keller

Angelina Jolie's never-ending world tour continues.

The actress and activist made pit stops in Syria and Iraq Tuesday as part of her role as a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador.

"I have come to Syria and Iraq to help draw attention to this humanitarian crisis and to urge governments to increase their support for UNHCR and its partners," Jolie said in a press conference. "My sole purpose in both countries is to highlight the plight of those uprooted by the war in Iraq."

The actress, who was in the Hamptons over the weekend with baby daddy Brad Pitt to raise funds for his New Orleans housing project, flew from New York to Syria on Monday. There, she visited with Iraqi refugees in their homes, then crossed over to Iraq Tuesday to meet with an additional 1,200 refugees.

"It is absolutely essential that the ongoing debate about Iraq's future includes plans for addressing the enormous humanitarian consequences these people face," she said after a meeting at the Al Waleed camp in Iraq.

In addition to meeting with refugees, Jolie also visited with U.S. troops and other international forces in the area.

This is just the latest leg in what has been come an increasingly wide world tour for the actress. Most recently, she’s been in Prague and Chicago, filming her upcoming flick, Wanted. Earlier in the year, she jetted to Vietnam to adopt Pax, the latest member of the Jolie-Pitt brood that also includes Maddox, Zahara and biological daughter Shiloh.

Up next for the actress is a run as railroad exec Dagny Taggart in the film version of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. After that, she says she'll be taking a break from movies to raise her family and, presumably, continue her world travels.
