I thought you where a proponent of the peak oil theory (that we are nearing a peak), but looking through your posts I see you don't directly endorse it. You do post someone else's comments supporting the peak oil idea but you don't say "I think the peak production of oil will come in the near future", or anything like that. So you did not make the prediction, you just passed along someone else's. You have also directly predicted that certain tax changes would greatly reduce our dependence on imported oil, and have passed along predictions from others on climate change, and you've predicted that the situation in Iraq would get worse for some time, but in the posts that I can find those predictions where not usually very specific. You have also at least past along predictions about future trade and budget deficits. If you can't predict that Iraq won't turn into another Vietnam I can't look in to a crystal ball and have certain knowledge of the future. But I can look at Iraq and the situation there and the nature of our involvement there and see that there is very little likelihood of the situation ever resulting in as many American deaths as Vietnam.
