MY PREDICTION ABOUT THE FUTURE

Right now each small nationality requires independence. All big empires collapsed.

Maybe the 18th-20th centuries were centuries of internationalism (communism, big empires). Religion united people but nationalism is sometimes a more intense feeling. The Soviet Union collapsed and right now Russia is crumbling also. Maybe Canada will be going the same way. In America we have Irish, Italian, Jewish, etc. neighborhoods.

I think that all national groups will become independents. After that they will be united economically. I think that an example is the future community of Western Europe (independent states, common market, NATO). Maybe Kosovo will became independent and will be united economically with Western Europe. I think that Israel also will be united economically with the European countries.

I think that people from intermarried families would connect to a national group. They have to receive the process of conversion to become a 'giur' Jew. Other people will be cosmopolitan. Maybe America would be a good territory for their livelihood.

The National Government has to help minorities immigrate to their national state.

In states, the Nationalistic parties' roll will rise. They will fight against alien people.
