Violence Comes Full Circle

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have just donated $1million to the U.N. refugee agency, which helps some people in Pakistan. The Associated Press reports:

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have donated $1 million to the U.N. refugee agency providing aid to hundreds of thousands uprooted by violence in Pakistan.

The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees says it is grateful for the donation from the Jolie-Pitt Foundation. It said Thursday the money will go to alleviating suffering caused by the "most challenging humanitarian crisis of the past decade."

UNHCR says over 2 million Pakistanis have been driven from their homes this year by fighting between government troops and Taliban militants in the northwest of the country.

So Brad and Angelina get rich from violent movies, then donate some of said riches to help people affected by violence. That's the circle of life.
