Middle East predictions in 2007
It's that wonderful time of the year again. No reference to Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or the Muslim Eid al-Adha intended. I refer instead to the year-end predictions political analysts traditionally make, in which they project what the year ahead may have in store.
