Check out the first sentence of President Tom’s letter to the Chancellor of Germany:

If it had not been for Germany being a great contributor to progress in science, philosophy, literature, arts and politics;

If it had not been for a more important and positive influence of Germany in international relations and promotion of peace;

Moreover, if it had not been for the persistence of a strong will by
certain global powers and special groups to constantly portray Germany
as defeated and indebted country of World War II in order to continue
their extortions;

And if it had not been for the presence of Your Excellency at the
top of the executive branch of your country as an experienced
stateswoman with bitter and sweet experiences in two dissimilar
societies with different political systems and traditions,

And at the same time, if it had not been for the advantages that are
limited to women, such as stronger human sentiments and certain
manifestations of the divine compassion and kindness, specially in the
position of a mother and being at the service of the people, and the
common responsibility of all people with faith in God to defend human
dignity and worth and to prevent violations of their rights and their
humiliation, and proceeding from this conviction that we are all
created by the Almighty and He has bestowed upon us all dignity and no
one has any special privileges over the other, and under no
circumstances could a society be deprived of its rights, barred from
pursuit of progress and perfection or be controlled or humiliated;

Finally, if it had not been for the oppression, however different,
of our nations, our shared responsibility to promote justice as the
most basic foundation for promotion of peace and human equality, I
would not have found the motive to write this letter.

Now that is a helluva sentence!
