1. She is wonderful.

I remember reading stories of her when she was in parliment.. she is very brave.

She spoke here in Minneapolis several years ago and was a wonderful speaker. I love her book and it great way to learn about Afghanistan. She needs our support. I bought 4 of her books at a progressive book store her in Minneapolis, "May Day Books" and gave them as gifts.

She was so kind to people who came up to have their book signed. I wish TV news programs would interview here so her view point would get out there.

Try to see her if you can, you won't regret it. And take someone with you.
