I have been wrong about so many things. Here are some of my predictions which I've been totally wrong on:
South Africa will fall to shit after the withdrawal of Apartheid. I figured the racist oppression was the only thing holding the country together.
Hong Kong will fall to shit after the withdrawal of the Brits. I sure didn't think that China would let HK survive.
Desert Storm: the Iraqis will fight like madmen to defend their land from infidels! Oops. I didn't know that Iraqi citizens were basically secular. Of course, it's a bit messier these days.
Turkey will be the wondermeat of the late 90s! I figured since the infrastructure was there for the holidays, the turkey folks would push for year-round sales.
