My 10 predictions (or wishes......), bearing in mind that all of these have to happen in the space of a year before we're all made extinct.....
1. Israel and the Palestinians sit down to negotiate final status. The borders are approved, the peace treaty is signed and the new country of Palestine is welcomed into the United Nations with Israel leading the standing ovation in the general assembly.
2. Ahmadinejad sees the error of his ways, dismantles his nuclear weapons facilities and turns them into factories for the production of clothing and toys which are then exported around the world, with the largest clients being the United States and Israel.
3. Hamas realizes that their 20-odd year armed struggle against Israel was pointless and they become part of the Palestinian leadership, joining in the peace treaty with Israel.
4. In 2013, President Newt Gingrich is invited to Tehran for the ceremony welcoming the first Israeli ambassador to that country.
5. All middle-east countries sign peace treaties with Israel. There is a free exchange of goods and tourism - with the main attraction being a one-month package tour of Cairo, Tel-Aviv, Amman, Damascus and ending with Beirut.
6. North and South Korea tear down their borders and reunite the country to be named The Democratic State of Korea.
7. Following the example of Israel and the Palestinians, a global conference is held in which all nations of the world sign peace treaties with each other and the western nations all pledge to help less fortunate countries build their economies.
8. An amateur scientist working in his/her basement stumbles onto a formula that can cure AIDS and Cancer with one pill.
9. Sean Hannity joins the Democratic party.
10. I finally get married (or LAID.....whichever comes first....).
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
