Here are mine:
1) The US dollar finally ends its slide against other currencies, although its slide will continue for some time in early 2005.
2) Tony Blair gets re-elected, despite the opposition of the British public to the war in Iraq, if elections are called in 2005 (he has until 2006 to call for new elections).
3) The Canadian minority government falls.
4) A Tsunami alert system is enacted in the Indian ocean, similar to the one in the Pacific ocean.
5) The Iraqi elections of January 30th fail to bring stability to Iraq.
6) The Israelis complete their pullout of Gaza.
7) The Democratic party, in an attempt to appeal to "Middle America" moves a little more to the center on some social issues.
8) President Bush makes 1 or 2 nominations to the Supreme Court (Justices Renquist and/or Stevens are probably the two to leave the court, but I am not sure)
9) The Red Sox do not repeat as World Series Champions (I sincerely hope this prediction fails).
10) Ferrari continues to dominate F1.
11) Michael Schumacher beats Ayrton Senna's record for the number of pole positions (Schumacher is at 63, the record stands at 65)
12) The US Congress fails to pass a resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide, but the 90th anniversary of the Genocide will bring much media coverage around the world, putting Turkey on the defensive.
13) Russia becomes more assertive (if not aggressive) following the removal of Ukraine and Georgia from its "sphere of influence".
14) Kurds in Iraq demand independence.
15) Armenian economy continues to grow, but poverty will remain the greatest problem, although the population migration balance will slightly improve.
16) Turkey makes some concessions on Cyprus in an attempt to improve its standing ahead of EU membership talks, but potential referendums on the issue in France and Austria will create some roadblocks.
I doubt 100%, or even 75%, of everything will come true, but if half of them come true, I will still have a better average than most astrologers.
