Saddam's hunger strike -- a win/win

Apparently, Saddam Hussein is on a hunger strike. It's his form of protest against the horrible injustices of the US, the new Iraqi government, and his trial.

Is this supposed to be some type of punishment? IMO, this is a win/win. His many victims and their families can revel in him wasting away in a slow, debilitating manner and the US can watch him disappear forever (which is all we really want, anyway). And Saddam can rest easy knowing that we are having to abide the oh-so-harsh message that this calculated move is sending.

So here's what I say to Saddam: I'm with you on this one. This is truly a noble effort on your part. See it all the way through! A hunger strike will really show us. Keep up the good work! And those hunger pangs you will be feeling? View them as little daggers that you're hurling at the West. Be strong, take your stand, and see it all the way through!

You can do it, Saddam. I just know you can!
