Angelina Jolie Considering Politics?

New direction: Angelina Jolie says she is not opposed to entering politics in new interview
Not just Nollywood actors/actresses are venturing to politics,Hollywood celebs are interested too.Speaking to ITV News at Ten’s Julie Etchingham. The Oscar winner said:

 ‘I’ve always gone wherever I felt I was needed.‘When I started working with the UN, I felt I loved working in the field and I felt I was useful in the field and then there was a point where I realised that I was only so useful in the field because someone had to go to Washington and plea the case.’ ‘So then I would do that,’ she continued. ‘I don’t know what that means or where that will lead me.’When asked what she thought of President Barack Obama’s handling of Syria, she replied: ‘I’m not here to criticise or pass judgment on a particular leader, including my own President, but I will say that we have overall a failing of international leadership when we have 51 million people displaced from conflict.‘[That is] More people displaced than since after World War II, when we have completely open-ended conflicts, when we have crises like Syria. ‘We seem to be completely unable to handle it and make ground and help all of the people who are starving and dying at the moment – and Syria is just one of many.’ ‘I think it’s important not to discount the good work being done but I think clearly, if you look around the world you can say we are simply not doing enough.‘When something happens our ability to respond and our ability to deal with it is far to little and far too late.’ ‘I think a great leader is a great leader and I simply would not ever say that this would be better because it’s a man or better because it’s a woman. ‘What we really need now is great leadership and I’m hoping that person rises forward.’ ‘I think just because she’s a woman you shouldn’t assume she’s the best voice for women but just like every other voter, I will watch to see what the platform is.’
