The stage is set, the actors are ready, but the audience is distracted.
Saddam Hussein's trial starts tomorrow, trailing words such as
momentous and historic, a courtroom drama with a gallows in the wings.
The former president is expected to play his part, defiant and
confident even if denied a tie lest he make a premature noose. The
prosecution and defence have studied transcripts from Nuremberg and The
Hague and rehearsed their lines. Five judges will determine the final
act.
