@Drno:
"we're going to know if the US can rise from the credit crunch they're in (better for the rest of us)"
Hmmm...probably, yeah, but not until late 2009.
"we're going to experience the pleasure of another costly occupation (see petraeus/cheney/bush... on Iran) "
Occupy Iran? Nah. Not going to happen. Bomb Iran? I give it 50-50 odds. It'll be the dumbest move yet by the Bush admin, but occupy it? Not gonna happen.
"we're going to enjoy the power of draft (100 year occupation = draft which means more dead innocent civilians)"
Don't think so unless there is a massive Iranian backed (real or fictionalized) attack on US home soil. And even then...there will be no draft because the war is unpopular, draft will only make it moreso.
"we're going to see a $200 baril of crude oil (for those who didn't realize it, we just hit $112)"
Very possible, and depending on how things shake out, you might be undercutting it.
"we're going to run over tibet for an olympic medal"
Probably. But I'm also betting that if there is more global economic instabilty Tibet isn't going to be the only Chinese province itching for freedom. China will prove to be a giant paper tiger with massive internal stress points.
"we're going to see if Italy gets kicked out of europe"
Probably. No one will care, except the italians who will probably be happy about it.
"we're going to have to support yet another justin timberlake's disc"
Better than a new Britney disc I suppose.
"we're going to open the door to a new understanding of our universe with the hardon collider"
+1 for science
