PREDICT THE FUTURE!
Who has the best Crystal Ball?
It is obvious the next two years will bring a lot of violence and insecurity.
So my question is: Try to describe the world in January 2005!
Will Bush still be President? Which party will dominate the US Congress and the Senate by then? What about the Supreme Court? Will abortion still be legal?
How about foreign relations, Cuba and Mexico, illegal immigrants? Civil rights, affirmative action, segregation?
Will crime and corruption decrease? Another Columbine?
Another Enron debacle? Healthcare for the elderly? More tax cuts? Deficit spending?
What about the economy?
Predict the Dow Jones, the Nikkei and the FTSE in London! What about the exchange rates of the US dollar, the Euro and the British pound? Will there still be a British pound? Will the German economy recover?
What about the Japanese economy, what about China?
Predict the world's leading economies!
Will protectionism return or will free trade triumph?
Will Blair and Labour still rule in Britain? Who will be King/Queen of Great Britain? More royalty, or the guillotine?
What about Chirac, Schröder and Berlusconi? What about Putin?
Will Russia abolish democracy completely?
What about the EU? Will Poland, Hungary etc. truly be members of the EU? What consequences will this have? What about Turkey?
How many wars will we have? Will Saddam still be alive, and binLaden? What about India and Pakistan, Kashmir, Chechnya, North Korea and its nuclear weapons, China and Taiwan? What will happen in Afghanistan, and Iraq?
Will Israel still exist, what about Sharon and Arafat?
Will terrorism increase or subside? Will the 'Axis of Evil' still exist? Will the Muslim world revolt?
What about Indonesia and Megawati? Democracy in Iran, in Saudi Arabia?
How many countries will the US army occupy? And will China occupy Tibet?
Will Latin America recover or is the crisis in Argentina and Venezuela just the beginning? What about the price of oil and gold? Will civil war break out anywhere?
Will we have more floods like in Dresden, will sea levels rise? What about the environment? Will Kyoto have any impact? How many Pacific islands will disappear in the waves? More sunken oil tankers?
What about the Hague tribunal? Will the US learn to live with it? Will the UN still exist, what about Khofi Annan? What about NATO?
What about Africa? More wars, more hunger, more poverty? Or will fortune smile on Africa and AIDS be beaten?
What about the world's religions? Democracy, dictatorships, communism, fundamentalism?
This is your chance to show us your political, economic, social and military expertise!
