Barnett’s wish list for 2008

Dr. Thomas Barnett has a foreign policy wish list for 2008 (he also had a list for 2007). Bulleted summary (pasted) is here:

  • Continued frustration for Hugo Chavez. 
  • Less hyperbole on global warming. 
  • More attention to rising global food prices. 
  • Less demographic demagoguery from nativist know-nothings. 
  • China’s JFK moment 
  • Africa Command’s first splendid little peace. 
  • Al Qaeda’s continued rollback. 
  • Nixon goes to Tehran — sort of. 
  • The dollar bottoms out before too much shakes out. 
  • When the bubble eventually bursts in India and/or China.
