Predictions for 2005
Predictions for 2005
By Daniel G. Jennings
If I didn’t make a few predictions of what will happen in 2005 I would be booted out of the Pundits Association so I will make a few predictions of what will happen in 2005.
Iraq, my guess is that the Iraqi Insurgency will peter out in 2005. When the Sunnis realize that they won’t drive out the Americans with terrorism they’ll quit the fight and the only fighters left will be the foreign fighters who will be easily rooted out and eliminated. My guess sometime in 2005, the Sunni leadership will make some sort of deal with the US and Iraq will become peaceful. Zaqarari will be captured.
Terrorism, well, my guess is that Al Qaeda will try something big in 2005. A major attack in the US or serious biological warfare. Whatever it will be it will be big because they need to prove they are still a force to be recognized with. Will it succeed? I hope not, but you never know.
Economy, a bumpy ride, oil prices will increase, and the stock market will fluctuate. The big if will be real estate, which is way overvalued, if it collapses we could be in real trouble. Fannie Mae could be in big trouble as could all the people who have invested all their money in homes. Stocks will fluctuate, Google will probably collapse but I’m sure some other overvalued stock will be the day traders’ fancy and go through the roof.
Entertainment, don’t ask me what will happen in entertainment this year, it’ll be wild and bizarre. My guess expect another big surprise like Mel Gibson’s Passion. Maybe a Chinese movie being number one at the box office for several weeks. Prediction from this old comic book freak, the Elektra and Batman movies will be dreadful films and huge flops.
Foreign affairs the US will continue to pander to China. China will grow rich off of American trade but like the US in 1917 will discover that such prosperity comes at a terrible price. Sooner or later, President Bush will call Beijing and say he needs the People’s Liberation Army deployed somewhere in the world and the paramount leader Mr. Hu will have to ask where and how many troops? Just as Woodrow Wilson woke up one day in 1917 and had to tell General Pershing to deploy the army to Europe and send a draft bill to Congress. The reason for this was the US economy in 1917 was based largely on loan guarantees to Britain, when the British started losing World War One America had no choice but to come to their aid. The Chinese economy is based on American t-bills, if the US is in trouble, the Chinese will have to intervene. I don’t want to be the Chinese leaders but it will happen possibly in 2005.
Other predictions if there is a God and God is just the Chicago Cubs will win the world series, the Denver Broncos will win the super bowl (hey I’m from Colorado), Quenton Tarantino will win an Oscar for Best Director and Zell Miller will be named chairman of the Democratic Party. An epidemic of common sense will break out on the West Bank the Palestinians will give up the fight and all migrate to Southern California to run gas stations leaving the Israelis free to settle the area paving the path for peace in the Middle East.
Those are a few predictions from the Great Daniel G. Jennings.
