I meant to blog this earlier in the week:
A group of anti-war activists started a hunger strike to protest US involvement in Iraq. While most of the strikers gave up food just for the day on July 4, some, including Cindy Sheehan, have stated they will continue until US troops are pulled out completely.
I have no real problem with the anti-war crowd. I think they make some legitimate points and I'm in sympathy with many of them. However, this is ridiculous.
Bobby Sands and a few other Irish Republicans kind of set the standard for hunger strikes back in 1981. Unless you're prepared to go the distance, don't waste our time with this drivel.
