	Once again: a self-fulfilling prophecy is one that *causes*
the prophecied event to come to pass.  A true (read legitimately
fulfilled) prophecy is one that comes to pass independently of the
prophecy itself.  No foreknowledge on the part of the prophet is
necessary if there are those who, knowing the prophecy, take steps
to make it come true.  I can't make it much clearer than that.
