Los Angeles, California (WiredPRNews.com) – Angelina Jolie recently questioned the Obama administration’s approach to dealing with the situation in Sudan. As reported by Access Hollywood, Jolie remarked in an editorial about the administration expressing support for the president’s methods, while questioning the effectiveness of his approach overall.

Jolie is quoted by Access Hollywood as writing in an editorial of Newsweek, “How is the Obama administration’s approach to Sudan an evolution of justice? In addition, when the administration says it intends to work to ‘improve the lives of the people of Darfur,’ I would like to know what that means, besides the obvious point that their lives could hardly get worse.”

Despite the remarks, Jolie is further quoted as writing, “Like many Americans, I support the administration’s willingness to engage diplomatically, even with regimes we abhor. And I believe President Obama and his special envoy Scott Gration will do their best to bring peace to the region… I also hope we will act sooner and more powerfully to prevent future atrocities.”
