Dear Angelina Jolie,
I am writing to you about Syria and the ongoing bloodshed we are watching across the country every day.
You may have seen the consistent coverage in the news recently about the latest country in the Middle East to join the Arab Spring. Despite excitement over pro-democracy movements successfully removing dictators in Tunisia and Egypt, Western leaders have largely remained silent on Syria.
They stayed silent when the bullet-ridden, tortured corpse of 13-year-old Hamza Ali al-Khateeb, who was arrested at a pro-democracy protest in a village in southern Syria in April, was returned to his family one month after his arrest. Graphic images and video footage of the young teenage boy, whose kneecaps were shattered and penis cut off, are plastered all over the web.

The lights are on, but no one is home, there
remember the palestianian boy, Al-Dura, who they claimed was murdered by Israel soldiers, and finanlly raw french video proved they did it themselves?
in Kosovo, even the UN admitted there were many more atrocities and rapes done BY the Muslims.
in Libya, BOTH sides constantly claim the other is killing children.
i’m certainly no fan of Assad... but i’m not naive either.
...remember Pallywood, with dead men climbing onto stretchers?:

She’s an actress and humanitarian aide and activist, always on the go. How does she find the time to parent (and I don’t mean parade on charity missions) her 6 children?
Jennifer Aniston is cuter.
