Medical personnel, more medical personnel to force feed the hunger strikers?

It is against international treaties to do this.

Does any one give a damn at all?

I DO and I am SICK of this, all of it.

If you want to die by starving yourself to death as you are so very desperate, I believe that is just fine if that is what YOU want to do.

How many more YEARS will this take?

How much more money will be spent?

War profiteers should know exactly how much more they can suck out of this sicko deal!
