Interesting read in light of our exchange last week. A few people, besides you and me anyway, are thinking about this sort of stuff.

Saddam will be tried in front of Iraqi judges (perhaps advised by or joined by some non-Iraqi judges) by an Iraqi prosecutor using Iraqi documents and Iraqi witnesses.

His defense may try to portray other countries as enablers, but it won't be relevant to the trial and probably not allowed. April Glaspie didn't try hard enough to stop me is hardly a defense. Imagine a defense that Saddam was only a mass murderer and warmongerer because that was what he thought his Western handlers wanted of him while his victims are being cross-examined.
