So, I’ve done my predictions for the upcoming decade, but now, I want to make some predictions for the upcoming year.
1. Regime Change in Iran
The protests that started last June after the election never really stopped. I can’t say what the new regime will look like, although I expect it will be more democratic and modern, or if anything permanent will be established by the end of the year. I am sure that Ahmadinejad will not be president by the end of the year.
2. Repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell in the United States
Not only will it be repealed, but without too much fuss. There will obviously be opposition and some public debate, but the repeal will pass congress and become official relatively quickly. Obama has to get on this, eventually. Sure, he has a lot of things on his agenda, but he’ll have to get around to this one some time this year.
3. Federal Election in Canada
There will be another election in Canada before the year is out. If the Conservatives win, they won’t have a majority, it will be the same situation as we have now. The liberals will most likely gain seats and they may possibly win. If the Liberals do win, I still don’t expect that they will have a majority.
