A foreign policy wish list for 2007

I don't see much to celebrate in terms of our country's foreign policy in 2006. As we look to 2007, here's my top-10 wish list, in no particular order of plausibility.

10. A certain Latin American leader passes quietly, with no evidence of American involvement. Not Hugo Chavez, who's rather harmless in his backfiring attempts to resurrect socialism down south but rather Fidel Castro, whose impending death finally sets in motion a political evolution that should generate America's 51st star within a decade.

How's that for a bold prediction to start the column! ;-)

Tom - Imagine you wrote this 14 years ago! Was the eminent Harvard Negotiator, Roger Fisher, also on to something when he called for a 'New Vision', and creating a SysAdmin force (not his terms of course). Ref: http://www.pon.harvard.edu/hnp/PDF/anarchy.pdf
Do you ever get a chance to interact with those guys at PON?
