Prediction 2006

Iran's ambitions could roil America's elections - Tom Curry - MSNBC.com

Iran will get their nukes. This will spur our government to recognize the increased potential for terrorists being able to bring a nuke into the US. Because of this, the government will not only step up its domestic spying policy, but will also find a way to identify every single person in America. There has already been talk of a National ID card. Expect it to be put into full force within one year after Iran has a nuke.

When this day comes, the government will have a finger on the pulse of every single person in this country. Expect civil liberties to be restricted even more. If (and when) Iran decides to launch a nuke at Israel, and/or the US takes action against Iran, which precipitates a war larger than the one in Iraq (think: global scale), you can expect the US to become a police state. Anyone without this National ID will be denied government services, and even rounded up into camps.

I'm thinking of a number, between 665 and 667...
