Am I being insenstive if I wish Cindy Sheehan the greatest success, if you know what I mean, with her peace diet?
About 150 protesters sat in front of the White House on Monday to savor their last meal before starting a hunger strike that some said will continue until American troops return from Iraq.
The demonstration marking the Independence Day holiday was organized by CodePink, a women's anti-war group that called on volunteers to abstain from eating for 24 hours from midnight on Monday.
Some protesters said their fast would continue beyond July 4th.
Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, whose son was killed in Iraq, said she would drink only water throughout the summer, which she said she would spend outside President George W. Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas.
I have a different perspective, so I make different choices. I had the biggest, fattest steak I could find on the Fourth. If I become a 300-pound, non-ambulatory freak, have some sympathy. The war on terror is tough work, and we all have to do our part.
