So again like last year, let me start by wishing all my Christian friends and brothers a Merry Christmas and wish everyone a Happy New Year. Hope it brings a fresh hope and new resolutions to us all.

Amal has beaten me in her predictions for 2006 (and she made me laugh to death), but it is never too late. So here we go again.

2006 holds a few challenges and everyone will be directly touched by his history and looking forward for better future. However, we all know that history in general has been one of many deadly conflicts. Personal or Universal progress is not without pain and suffering, and historically, human past points more to war than peace (unfortunately).

Let's try to make some predictions for 2006. Being pessimistic or optimistic, funny or serious, all up to you.

Here are some categories (updated), but don't limit yourself. If you like to add more, please be my guest!

The Categories (in no specific order):

PS. I'll copy/paste Amal's predictions into comments here to give you some inspiration.

2005 holds a few challenges and everyone will be directly touched by his history and looking forward for better future. However, we all know that history in general has been one of many deadly conflicts. Personal or Universal progress is not without pain and suffering, and historically, human past points more to war than peace (unfortunately).

Lets try to make some predictions for 2005. Being pessimistic or optimistic, funny or serious, all up to you.

Here are some categories, but don't limit yourself. If you like to add more, please be my guest!

Here is my predictions:

Arab/Israeli Conflict: I think we can reach some resolution by end of 3005, Inshallah!

Terrorism: Lets see, they have spotted a terrorist in each and every Arab Country. But it looks they have oversight the guys at Comoros. 2005 will be the year they discover the source of world terrorism in Comoros (Thx to Mahmood for reminding me of this Arab Country.) Someone please do a favor and remind Bush to look around this country.

Economy: Arab world will be invited to join the G8 cause of its major role in world economy (being the biggest milk- cow).

Oil Prices: Not much changes here. Our Oil Ministers will make sure that the prices dose not go high so we don't get richer. The more we get rich, the more spoiled we will come. So I trust they will watch our fortune!

Celebrities: Nancy Ajram, Elissa and Haifa Wahbeh will declare that they didn't not give (show) all what they have. So keep watching!

Leaders Death (or born, May God Bless Their Soul): New generation of Majesties, Highness's, Emirs, etc.. will lead us to Prosperity and Justice.

Iraq: Once upon a time we heard of this country, Iraq. May God be on there side!

Syria: They will condemn... everything, and what not. But retaliate, No Way!

New Technology (God Forbid): His Highness will open new OFFICE's of MiKro$oft. 99% technology and employees are locals!

Arab/Arab Conflicts: They will delay discussion of their conflicts to 'next submit' so that 'this submit' will not fail. Doh..

New Guinness Records: Lets see, 2003 we made the highest pole, 2004 we made the biggest flag, 2005 we will make the longest tissue paper to wipe our tears!

Best World Event: They will seize all the terrorist in the world within the Arab World.

Worst World Event: Arab World don't complete their part of the International Space Station. Damn!!!

Best National Event: Flip!

Worst National Event: Flop!

Personal Predictions: I'll become fatter :-(
