"Um Ali" is a term of endearment for a women who is raising interest in the occult in Kuwait through her ability to predict the future. For example, she says that the new "parliament's members will be new faces" after this election.
As a Kuwaiti figure, Um Ali is quite popular and has been predicting the future based on dreams since her early childhood. She comes from a great tradition in Kuwait of such fortune tellers, including one from the royal al-Sabah family who predicted the location of oil in the Kuwaiti desert in the 1930s.
Some of Um Ali's 2008 Predictions include:
Political/Social
* Condoleezza Rice will get married
* Most of the parliament's members will be new faces
* An increase in the number of females in the government
* Instability in Kuwait's security, in the city and on the borders with Iraq
* Terrorist attempts in Kuwait, ending peacefully
* The spread of a contagious disease in Kuwait in the coming few days
* An earthquake will hit Kuwait
* A blackout in Kuwait
* Disputes between Iraq and Kuwait
* Deputy Prime Minister of a GCC country will not last in office
* Two GCC ministers (Interior and Foreign) will not stay in office
* Unusual instability in Saudi Arabia's security
* A severe earthquake will hit Egypt causing the collapse of several buildings and a high death toll
* Next US President will not be better than the previous one and will hold the worst for the world
* A terrorist attack on the US
* Instability in UK's security

Considering the U.S. Democrats can't even claim to know who their next presidential candidate will be at the end of this month, let's give Um Ali a try. Perhaps, after that, we can ask her to predict when and whether U.S. troops will ever be pulled out of Iraq.
