"I said what I said, and I am innocent. Innocent, yes."
And with that, Saddam Hussein denies reality at the start of his trial, after first not even recognizing the court. But ultimately, in a sign seen 'round the world that justice awaits brutal suppressors of freedom and murderers of the innocent.
We will have to wait until Nov. 20 for round two as the defense got a delay -- the bare minimum requested by the defense.
Arab media may try to spin this in an anti-American way, but there will be an undeniably huge impact as Arabs living under despotic states like Syria and less-than-free states like Egypt will see a leader not that unlike their leaders on trial by Iraqis in a free Iraq.
Nothing could be more powerful in the war on terrorism, not even bin Laden brought to justice.
