More like a fantasy. Ask the idio... I mean the author to come out with 10-year milestones for each of those dreams... er, I mean "predictions", and in a decade, we will be able to see just how stupid he was.

Clinton may visit Pakistan under duress and enforced invitation from a tinhorn general. Poor chap- Clinton to give the General his 5-minute fame---JPR dawn.com Clinton likely to visit Pakistan, says UK paper By Our Staff Correspondent LONDON, Feb 16: President Bill Clinton is likely to pay an official visit to Pakistan next month as the US State Department believes that the visit would be in the best interest of the US in the region, The Guardian newspaper said on Wednesday quoting "senior" US administration sources. The move will be a setback to India which has so far been trying to stop the US president from visiting Pakistan claiming it would legitimise the military coup. The paper said that though "officially", the White House is still considering whether to add a Pakistan visit to Mr Clinton's India and Bangladesh trip, due to start on March 20, but it has almost been decided that Mr Clinton would also visit Pakistan . The paper quoted a senior Clinton administration official as saying that a visit to Pakistan is now "likely to take place" as part of the first US presidential tour of the Subcontinent since Jimmy Carter's 1978 visit. The paper said that Clinton's decision to visit Pakistan would deal a blow to New Delhi, which wants Washington to declare Pakistan a rogue state over its alleged role in December's hijacking of an Indian Airlines jet to Afghanistan. It said that the Pentagon had taken the lead in pressing Mr Clinton to talk with Pakistan's new military ruler, General Pervez Musharraf, but the State Department, initially cautious, is now believed to have accepted that a visit would be in the best interests of the US in the region.
