More than a sad story

Few celebrities engage in causes in ways that are not just meaningful, but smart and insightful. Bono comes to mind, of course, but the list is pretty short.

Now, after watching footage of Angelina Jolie being interviewed by the New York Times' Nick Kristof at the Clinton Global Initiative last night, I'm adding her to my list. Her story is gut-wrenching and compelling, yes -- but what got me is how, at the very last moment, she took it beyond the sob story to call for real, lasting solutions. Check it out:

"He's a great kid, and these are great people, and...
We need to help them be doctors."
