The protests weren't about food and water, the protests were about the form and ideals of government in Iraq. It seems ideals matter to them too.

Media says they were given about 2-3 months worth of rations. If rationing is like I know from my days in India, its more likely to be aboput 1 months worth in real terms.

Ideals on a hungry stomach just dont work.
