Predictions for 2003

• There will not be a new terrorist attack on U.S. soil.
• Movies will become increasingly costly and increasingly stupid and predictable.
• Nobody will like whatever architectural plan for Ground Zero will be chosen.
• The economy will hold steady; unemployment and prices of consumer goods will rise.
• The United States will once again invade Iraq, but this time 'finish the job', a phrase to be defined by the Dubya administration.
• There will be no peace in the Middle East.
• Europe and the United States will become more and more alienated from each other.
• Most predictions for 2003 will not come true.
