We shall review some of the wishes and realities encountered in this field. Theoretical open problems of diffractive dynamics are involved in making accurate predictions for the LHC, among which the most crucial is understanding factorization breaking in hard diffraction.6 pages, 7 figs., Proceedings of the XIth International Conference on Elastic and Diffractive Scattering (EDS05), Blois, France, May 15-20 2005High Energy Physics - Phenomenologytext
