You wish the ISS becomes what MIR has been and still is and always will be: A space station that was built for 7 years and lasted twice that time!
It was a great piece of equipment and when it finally gets its well deserved rest, we should all apreciate the data/experience it gave us.
You know, here in Europe, i heard a joke:
For space, NASA invented a pen that could write in a 0g environment. The russians just used a pencil.
