Nostradamus lived in about 1505. He had the rare talent to see the future. But this was an era where soothsayers were looked down upon and were even murdered. That is why he wrote down his predictions in an indirect way.
Sometime ago about 1989 I saw a Video produced by an Australian company on these predictions. According to it the big earthquake in San Francisco was predicted by him. Of course I saw this years before the 9/11 incident. But this video says that the next prediction is that the new city in America will be attacked by a mad man from the Middle East with fire balls sent from the sky - and it said that the new city should be New York. According to what was happening at that time I really thought that this man should be Saddam Hussain. It mentioned the number of fire balls that will come and gave the number that will really hit the new city. I forget the exact figures mentioned.
According to this video there was much more than the soldier being hit by the bullet - there was a plaque round the neck of the skeleton of Nostradmus setting out the date of that day that his corpse was dug.
The most scary part is the next prediction. According to it the Middle East will be flattened and as a result the Pope will flee Rome. According to what is happening now I hope this will not become true.

sometimes he was spot on
in things as predicting the death of the French king at the time
In predictingWW1 and WW2 calling Hitler by his name
or maybe one of the most freakish predictions the desacration of his own body; which goes as following he said just before he died that his body would be desacrated and that the person who would do it would die the next day. And during the French revolution they opened up his coffin and one soldier drank wine from his skull. The guy was shot the day after. on his corpse they found a medalion that mentioned the exact year that this act took place!!!
He did many more exact predictions.
But a lot of his predictions are also very vague or even complete nonsence(he used a lot of narcotics) the problem is that all kinds of people have tried to interpret them in al kinds of ways which makes that they have interpreted that his end of the world should have taken place 5 times allready!!!
So read about him, but be critical

some of his qautrains were said to be way off the mark but i think it is just a case of us not understanding his work after all if he foreseen a car in the future he would not know to call it a car and would often use neologisms (made up word) to describe things which leaves us completley baffeld at times,but i beleive that most have come true and we may just not know about them all yet but most have been right on the money

Many things attributed to him simply aren't his. (The fact that every few years a new batch of books are published giving new angles and interpretations must be very suspicious!)
Nostrodamus provides a vauge matrix on to which people can project their own meanings.
For example, the predictions of WW2, Naming of Hittler etc, nope - not in his original works. Won't find them anywhere.

yeah... Nostrodamus might not have been damn right, but he was pretty damn close... his visions were not predictions, but jsut that... visions... his insight into the world and how it would turn out through his use of whatever mystical dabblings he indulged in led to information about every major even of the last century down to a tee... plus other stuff before.
Yep... Nostro was gooooooooooooood

It's just that his writings were so vague that they could be applied to most any event. NO on has ever used it to predict the future, it has always been an after sight thing where they say, "Hey this must have been what he meant."
:o)

His writings were vague ramblings and utter nonsense. They could have applied to anything you wanted, because they made use of people's need to believe and their imagination. A bunch of BS is all it was, nothing more.

it depends on how you interpret it. explicitly he predicted nothing, but some of what he said can be interpreted as predictions of some very major events including 9/11.

He didn't have a clue. All the "connections" with modern day happenings are read into his ramblings by silly people.
