I predict it will take quite awhile before Afghanistan and Iraq can be regarded as consolidated democracies. The people who hold the de facto power in those countries are used to getting political power through force, not elections. I also think Iraq will have it much easier than Afghanistan, being a more modern and richer country.

I predict Eastern Europe will put themselves in a very awkard situation if they cooperate with the US on issues that goes against the interrest of Western European countries. Many Eastern European countries just joined the EU and more want in.

My retirement portfolio will grow too.

Edit: At the end of the day, it'll be business as usual in the Bush administraion. Judge it however you see fit.
