Let me take some time to get a little political here. Well not really political per se but um...well I just have never understood the hunger strike. Especially for Saddam. The only thing he is going to accomplish is losing those extra few pounds he could get off when he was hiding in that bunker or whatever. He might even die. But chances are that even though "they" want him dead, "they" probably wouldn't let it get to that point. It would look bad. So he will just be really hungry.
But back to hunger strikes in general. The only person who cares what you eat is your Grandmother. And chances are she doesn't have any kind of political clout. So if you want to starve yourself because of "fill in the blank", go ahead...but I hope you realize there are like millions of people around the world starving at this very moment that no one gives a fuck about. So why do you think attaching a cause to it is going to do any good?
And we all know what it feels like when you haven't had a good meal in a while, you get cranky, light-headed, sleepy etc. If you are trying to fight the "man" shouldn't you have all your strength? Enjoy a nice three course meal and then go on to debate and talk about whatever political message you stand for. If you have a hunger strike and people actually put you on the news he only thing people are going to think is get that emaciated disgustingly thin person off the television so I can watch my shows.
