Prediction

1) Martial law will be declared in Pakistan within days.

2) The elections there will still be held. Voter turnout will be abysmal, yet the government will declare victory and a mandate to govern.

3) The Bush administration will comment favorably on the election results.

4) Citizens in this country will go on about their daily routines as if nothing had happened.

Question: If a beautiful, magnificent oak tree is cut down in a foreign forest, and the mass majority of people here aren't even aware enough to know that it happened, did the oak really fall?
