Dang right!
This are my comments:
1- The Taliban is going to retake Afghanistan.
2- Al Qaeda will WMD at least one city in the US.
3- North Korea, oh well, hard to predict their next move. But I would bet my bottom dollar that China is behind them. I can't imagine those little pricks upsetting the Empire without the approval of uncle Red.
4- Irak, this is the hardest to see. My guess is Saddam will survive somehow, and the war will extend at least into the next year. I don't think the Iraki army can defeat the US, cause even if they do then next year a new US army of 3 millions instead of 300 thousands would be riding on Baghdad.
The worst thing about the Iraki war is that it have become obvious that a country without nukes AND ICBMs is easy pick for the big fishes. I don't like the message this is sending to the Arab world, because you have to realize that is just a matter of time until they get nukes. Doesn't matter how far ahead the west is, the 3rd world will catch up, whether in 5 or 50 years.

Besides, our greatest weakness is not open war, but terrorism, and they know that. The worst thing I see about terrorism is that unlike in regular warfare, in terrorism weapons never become obsolete. A WW2 vintage 80mm mortar or an M1 Garand will never be obsolete for terrorist use. Especially for suicidal terrorist use. So I can see the war on terror Lasting ages.....
