The current mess the US is in is Bush's doing.


Lizzie,

Don't want to get into the political debate, simply offer an alternative to your pessimism. I think that you and most of the world will be shocked at some of the positive developments that happen over the next 12 months. The stock market sent a very strong signal that it agrees.

Some of my predictions for the next 12 (maybe 18) months:

- A 'new UN' emerges with US, UK, India, (Russia, China) as the core
- The EU and NATO collapse
- A democratic revolution begins in Iran (and likely succeeds)
- Kim Il Jong falls in North Korea, reunification begins
- DJIA climbs above 11000
- Israeli / Palestine conflict resolved
- Based on the Qatar-model, the Saud family moves towards democratic reform in Saudi Arabia
- Oil falls below $20/barrel, OPEC less relevant
- India begins economic reforms and becomes major US allie

Just a view from the 'Sun will come out tomorrow' corner of the world. I am feeling optimistic for the first time since 9-11.

Paul
