Dr Sima Samar has been fighting for equality and justice for most of her life. Born into a polygamous family, she learned early that girls had inferior status, and she had to agree to an arranged marriage if she wanted to go to university. By the time she was in medical school, she had a son, Ali, and had become a revolutionary. After her husband was disappeared by the pro-Russian regime, she escaped. With her son and medical degree, she took off into the rural areas - by horseback, by donkey, even on foot - to treat people who had never had medical help before.

Imagine that there was a great Japanese lobbying machine that had the ear of both parties and the President agreed that there was insufficient evidence of Japanese involvement in the attack. Imagine if he had also declared that the attack was an aberration, that Japanese culture and religion were peaceful and profound.
