Indeed, it seems like a good idea but history has not been kind to it 😛

I do think a model, or series of models identifying common things in history is a good idea but like the climate models I suspect history is too complex to be a reliable predictor of regional events. For that I’d rather read a novel by Tom Clancy who effectively foresaw 911 in “Debt Of Honour”.

Incidentally, Clancy’s hero who survived the 911 type attack was Vice President and then immediately afterwards President “Ryan” 🙂
