Predictions - The fabulous Bill

Predictions - The fabulous Bill Quick does some fact-checking of the National Review staff's predictions...for 2002.

So we see the danger of trying to predict things. Still - no guts, no glory.

I'll do mine. I'll make them nice and general - to avoid the wrath of Quick next year.

1. Iraq will fall. Probably in February.
2. There will be a Tienanmen-square-style incident in Iran. The mullahcracy will stand - but the cracks will widen.
3. The "Clone" will be found to be a sham. This time.
4. The nattering classes that are currently quibbling about Bush's sitzkrieg-induced dip in popularity will be eating their words, as the post-Iraq popularity bump will push him back into the seventies.
5. Evidence will tend to show Bin Laden is dead, again. Still.
6. Ditto Francisco Franco

Send me your predictions - why should I have all the fun?
