Letting your enemy die in a hunger strike is the ultimate evil? Are you sure you know what you are talking, Wise Tibetan Monkey?

The IRA members basically wanted their status be that of political prisoners, but, my opinion, Thatcher wanted to conform to the image of "Iron Lady."Wakalukong
How we celebrate this image while we make Hitler look evil for being tough and inflexible is beyond me.

I just wanted to prove you wrong. Now, should I go walking or riding a bike into the concrete jungle? I think walking is slightly safer.
Anyway, if you justify the death of hunger strikers, you must just justify the killing of Jesus. And you don't want to do that because the Christians will hate you.
Hunger strikes and peaceful resistance to authorities both qualify as forms of NONVIOLENCE. Jesus basically gave the finger to the Romans. "Yes, you can have my body, but not my soul," that was the message. And he was crucified. The Romans crushed the Jewish rebellion with brutality. Nature is not kind with the weak.
Hitler understood that and acted on it in an industrial scale. Thatcher would probably place Jesus in a mental hospital. No place for idealism. Try riding a bicycle.
