Then again, if he's been following the trial of former Yugoslavian president Slobodan Milosevic - which has been anything but plain sailing for his accusers - Saddam may be tempted to fight on from within the dock. After all, Iraqis and most Arabs haven't exactly bought into the U.S. narrative of the war.

But Blair surely remembers the fate of Margaret Thatcher, who was forced to hand over the leadership role to John Major when the British electorate and her own party fell out of love with...
...Davis' fate has had a seismic effect on Republicans in California and Washington, though for different reasons. As Republican state hopefuls--possibly including Arnold Schwarzenegger--line up to vie for Davis' job, the White House is keeping its distance. With eyes fixed on the next presidential election, the White House would rather see a deeply unpopular Democratic Governor stay in his job, which might help Bush's chances of winning the state in 2004--something no Republican has done since a different George Bush won there...
