During a speech in Washington D.C. on Tuesday, Angelina Jolie told the esteemed crowd of the Council on Foreign Relations,

“It is a fact that the best way to heal children in conflict and their trauma is to focus their minds on their future. This population we’re talking about is the future of Iraq. So to reach them now, to help deal with their trauma and refocus their minds on a possible future should absolutely be one of our top priorities.”

The very pregnant Angelina Jolie further added,

“We need these kids … to rebuild their country, to stabilize their country and eventually lead their country.”
