I’M NO FORTUNE TELLER, BUT WHAT CAN WE EXPECT IN THE FUTURE?
This question is asked by many people and continues to be of great concern. Much of everyone’s life today has changed radically because of global terrorism and the threat of nuclear weapons. The USA public is divided over the war in Afghanistan and in Iraq. World leaders seem very confused (almost chaotic!) in trying to deal with what is taking place all around the world.
