Hollywood star Angelina Jolie has called for the world to get its "priorities in order", saying that the amount of money spent in Iraq in just a few hours could educate thousands of children. "To put things into perspective and maybe help to understand why we maybe need to adjust the way we're doing things in the world, the conflict in Iraq has displaced over four million people," Jolie said on Wednesday. She said an appeal by Unicef, the UN's fund for children, and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees to address the educational needs of many of those children was dwarfed by the cost of US military spending in Iraq. "The entire appeal equals about eight hours of current spending in Iraq. So just a few hours would send 150 000 children to school.
