Self-fulfilling prophecies-wold events and politics.?

Can you name some world events and world politics that can be described in terms of self-fulfilling prophecies.

Update:

Update 2:

really---you guys did not do that well. I mean seriously--no mention of the "Axis of Evil" thing or the economic downturn, Al Qaeda in Iraq.

Honestly what concrete did you give me?

    Large wars will come about. Unimportant wars as well. Wars against things that you'd never think people would bother to. Evil people will pop up. The voting public will never fully make up their minds. It is up to politicians to make it up for them.
