Go for it
Saddam just went on a Hunger strike. Good. Don't meet his demands. Let him starve. Let the murderous fuckhead die. And have fun with it too. Bring deliciously smelling hot food and put it in front of his cell, with a fan behind it to transmit the smell his way. Some roasted Turkey, couple of juicy steaks, some brownies, some Pie. And then videotape his breaking down and begging for food and broadcast it on TV. And if he doesn't break down, and starves to death instead, even better. You really can't lose here! It's like my co worker S. asked me today when he read about it in the paper: "When people go on hungerstrikes, like, who exactly do they think they are punishing?"

finally i had time to read your blog - after hearing so much about it.
me and my flatmate spent a few hours reading it - quite entertained.
I made a bet with here that you have lived in america - and being partly american herself she said that because u pushed some cow while it was sleeping, that proves that you lived in the US.
to ease our curiosity - are we correct?
you age was also raised as an issue.
why this is of a concern is that i am curious about the demographic that represents the progressive Egyptians that could be leading it to a better the future.
check my blog if you want to discuss this further.
Saddam Hussein has succeeded in turning his trial into a daily circus! He & his brother are really doing a good job & i dont know why the judges are not putting an end to it, why cant they be gagged for example? They swore at the judges, keep demanding stupid stuff, they accuse & threaten & then one of them appears in his under clothes so what is this exactly?? I mean, this did not happen in the Nazi's Nuremberg trial.
This whole trial thing is turning into a farce.
Saddam Huisinsane slowly, painfully dying of starvation. Such a pity.
It's all good! They should put a webcam in his cell so we can all watch and make she he isn't sneaking twinkies on the side. And also, so we can see him handwashing his dirty underwear of course. And every day one of the guards can poke him with a stick and say "Are you dead yet!?" Or better yet, they could put one of those "jolt" collars on him so that the viewers at home could click a button and... you know... make sure he's still alive...
I support this hunger strike 100%. Should be no water either. He'll be dead in a few days without water.
Someone should tell Saddam that hunger strikes only work when you are:
a. Innocent
b. The outside world actually gives a f*ck if you live or die
"I mean, this did not happen in the Nazi's Nuremberg trial."___It might have done if Hitler had been alive and in good health, like Saddam. Both of them were/are manipulative characters.
Just added you to my reading list *g*
As to Saddam: I recall reading a story some time back, of a circus act... the guy was a starvation artist, or something along those lines... no one paid attention to his act, so he kept going. and going... one day, someone noticed the 'cage' he had locked himself into. It was Empty.
Go Saddam!
Probably the first thing he's ever done to make the world a better place.
Superluli, I don't want to speak for SandMonkey, but obviously you don't know the meaning of the word progressive, because if you knew you'd realize from his writings that he's the exact opposite, he's a self admitted egyptian neocon, an oxymoron in my opinion.
About egyptian liberals and progressives (the correct meaning of the word) I think there's plenty of them.

Torture and humiliatian as public entertainment?
Is'nt that "terrorist" os "islamist"?
Or plain egypt?
LOL! I just can't imagine Saddam really doing this. Sure save the Iraqi's the trouble of execution. I predict that this is all lip service and saddam doesn't have the B*lls to go through with it.
I think they either need to put him in another room with closed circuit TV and only turn the mic on when needed or build a soundproof room where he can sit and be viewed but not heard in the courtroom. Anyone notice that the other defends except of course his brother keep looking at each other like they think he is coo-coo?
Mohamed,
"About egyptian liberals and progressives (the correct meaning of the word) I think there's plenty of them."
I'm including only the defs that refer to politics:
pro·gres·sive
ADJECTIVE:
2. Proceeding in steps; continuing steadily by increments: progressive change.
3. Promoting or favoring progress toward better conditions or new policies, ideas, or methods: a progressive politician; progressive business leadership.
NOUN:
1. A person who actively favors or strives for progress toward better conditions, as in society or government.
lib·er·al
ADJECTIVE:
1. Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry.
2. Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded.
If you don't think SM fits that bill in Egypt, can you point me to some bloggers who do? I'm serious. I'd like to read the blogs of anyone who wants change for the better in Egypt more than SM does!

Democracy and justice, as the westerner likes it.
Why not torture Saddam in the public, to proove
how chosen you are?
Hi Craig,
I still wouldn't call SM or Bush as progressives or liberals.
Regarding the blogs, I like Tomanbay's blog, his views are quiet balnced also there's Rosetta Stone who stopped I don't know why, and highlader's really cool.
Two of my favorites, although they're not really political, but I don't know, something is so deeply egyptian in what they write (they always make feel so nostalgic and home sick), that when I read them I feel that I'm still in egypt, one is Shamousa (unfortunately one of her best posts about the relation between the copts and moslems was written in arabic) and the other one is a canadian lady living in Egypt, whose quiet brilliant,

DoPe dude,
what is justice, for the butcher of baghdad?
Mohamed,
Thanks for the links, I recently cleared some bookmarks, so it'll be good to have some new blogs to check out :)
I have a better solution. Give up. Just admit defeat and bring him in to court and say "Ok, Saddam, you're the winner. You've won, here have a medal. Definitely, out of everybody ever, you're the winner. Case closed."
Broadcast that on television and remind everybody that when he's released on foot out side of the court house in two hours time that he's looking pretty hungry and the grateful people of Iraq might like to take him out for lunch. He's the winner =)
