2010 might be calm, but 2011 won’t. I anticipate that 2011 will bring nuclear war to the Middle East as Israel’s neighbors launch a preemptive attack to destroy Israel once and for all.
There might be a Third Intifada with the Palestinians, but it’s hard to know when this could occur. It could be 2010 or [...]
