Angelina Jolie in The Economist

Did you hear Angelina Jolie wrote an article for The Economist? A couple of thoughts:

• Calling for trials for war criminals is noble enough, but a little bit like coming out in favor of helping widows and orphans: designed to offend no one. A ballsier view on this issue would actually give teeth to the International War Crimes Tribunal by making Americans accountable. Meaning that those Marines who raped a teenage girl in Iraq and killed her whole family to cover it up would find themselves being tried internationally, and Henry Kissinger's number might also come up (draft pun intended).
  
  
• The article was pretty well-written, but not as good as Courtney Love's five-part series on OPEC in the Journal of Foreign Affairs.
